So it’s no secret the “Fast and the Furious” line of movies have been a thorn in the side of domestic muscle car owners, in fact the flock of rice (modded imports) taking over the streets of cities nationwide was sparked by this series. It’s also no secret we’ve made fun of those cars too (insert fart-can comment, riceburner, boeing 747 inspired race wing that actually hurts their traction rather than help, etc.).

Shelby Mustang GT500 (1967)
A blend of sports car and muscle car, the 1967 Shelby GT 500 satisfyed a maturing taste for high performance.
The GT 500 represented a departure for Ford factory tuner Carroll Shelby. To make a road-racing champ of the 1965-1966 Mustangs, Shelby had transformed them into thundering thoroughbreds ill-suited to everyday driving. By 1967, however, Shelby’s audience was demanding more civility, and the original pony car was undergoing a revamp that finally gave it room for big-block power.
With the introduction of the 1967 models, regular Mustangs could get a 320-bhp 390-cid four-barrel V-8. Shelby, naturally, went further. His GT 350 retained its 289-cid V-8 with its 306-bhp rating. And a new model, the 1967 Shelby GT 500, got a reworked 428-cid “Police Interceptor.”
The 428 was otherwise reserved for bigger Fords, where it made 345 bhp. Shelby added the cast-aluminum medium-rise intake manifold from Ford’s 427, twin 600-cfm Holley four-barrel carburetors, and other tweaks for a conservative rating of 355 bhp. During manufacture or through dealers, a handful of 1967 Shelby GT 500s were equipped with Ford’s near race-ready 427-cid V-8.
