1967 Shelby GT 350 Factory Paxton

(Click on any photo to enlarge)


This 1967 Shelby GT 350 is one of only 5 red 1967 Shelbys that were factory
equipped with a Paxton Supercharger. It is one of only four known to still exist.

 This Shelby features the "inboard" headlights, which were outlawed in some states.
 This car is also fitted with 5 Goodyear small letter Speedway tires,
which are reproductions of the original equipment tire.
 This Shelby GT 350 has just had a ground up restoration.
 The Candy Apple Red paint is the original color
and is extremely high quality with a wet looking shine.




 Shelby specific equipment in this photo include the steering wheel, the Amp and Oil Pressure
gauges that are under the dash, and the Shelby emblem on the passenger side of the dash.
 The roll bar and shoulder restraints are original to the car and have
been restored along with the seat belts by Ssnake Oyl Products.
 The shifter is a rebuilt Ford original and shifts very smoothly.
 The floor maps are reproductions of the original mats.
 The Mustang deluxe interior was included in all 1967 Shelby automobiles.
 The steering wheel was manufactured by EPPI of Italy for Shelby and the 1967 Shelby cars.

 The Paxton Supercharger makes this car a very potent competitor.
 It has big block power with a small block engine and handling.






 The Shelby VIN is on the plate above. The Ford VIN is
stamped below the Shelby plate and is confidential.







The undercarriage was restored like the original with red oxide primer.

The "snubber" in the upper photo is exclusive to Shelbys.
It keep the Leaf springs from hitting the body.
