Very fine '69 500 well presented! The 428 Cobra Jet was closer to 375hp (gross HP) and generated acceleration numbers accordingly. However, the car was eclipsed by the Boss 429 in '69

Weren't they both eclipsed by the Mach 1, 428SCJ equipped with the locker 3.91 or 4.33 gears, as far as drag racing, quarter mile times?

Shelby’s weren’t subtle in their styling but they had plenty of muscle to back up their look...burgundy with a white interior combination is very different for muscle /pony cars, it wasn’t an exterior color you saw too often for the hero cars, still a extremely cool ride!

I was 12 when this car was built and I remember walking past a Ford dealership every day to and from school There was an Acapulco blue gt500 on the showroom floor I would stop, stare and probably drool every day. I ended up owning a 1969 GT350 when I was a senior in high school I paid $2500 for it and later sold it for $4000. Back then 69 & 70"s were not considered real Shelby's

Nice car but, @1:08 it looks like that trunk lid doesn't line up well at all, and there's some sign of rather poor bodywork patching having been done under that paint from the reflection in it (looks like the trunk key lock might have been moved from the trunk lid to the body, and the hole patched up at one point?).

413x398 Yeah I believe the 500 was because I remember him saying it was too much for his leg. That was a long time ago and I was only about 13 years old. I know he traded the Shelby for a ‘70 Torino Cobra Jet in yellow. I moved away shortly after that. His brother had a ‘67 Chevelle 396 that I remember riding in and can just feel the vibrations today when I think of it.

These are the least Shelby of the so called Shelby mustangs (the only thing less Shelby is the 1970, which is a re -vin-ed 1969) these are 100 percent Ford, produced by Ford and AO Smith. As for the boss 429, the boss cars were rumored to be paid for in part out of Carroll Shelbys budget, bunky knudsen almost litterally stole the money to pay for his pet boss cars. Ford and Shelby were on the outs in 1967, and Shelby increasing had little to do with the cars after 1967.

The 69 was probably the best year for Mustang, Shelby's, and the Lincoln Mercury Ford family of vehicles. They were undoubtedly some of the nicest body styles, the best motor choices, and had they not used the fake woodgrain on the dashboards of many of those cars, the muscle cars by Ford in 1969 would have looked the part inside and out. Fake wood grain doesn't scream "high tech awesomeness, " and it's not very luxurious, either. So what were the design teams thinking with that crap?! It's basically the only pet peeve anyone can have with auto makers. Since wood adds a ton of weight, and isn't durable like steel, it doesn't project speed or maneuverability like a black jet cockpit made of titanium, does it? And airlines moved away from wood paneling immediately upon finding aluminum. Who was the holdover who believed wood grain has any place in the automotive industry?

Many comments made here are similar to the public perception of this car when it was new... luke-warm. The true Shelby sports car flavor of the 1965-66 period was definitely gone. It's true that no more power or performance could be had with this model, then a somewhat cheaper and lighter Mach 1. Perhaps this is why Ford was willing to cancel them, after Shelby`s request to do so. However... they were meant to appeal more to the GT touring jet-set, not so much to the street rats of the day. So on that theme, they delivered in spades. Several notable celebrities are known to have owned them. I always thought they were quite good looking, if perhaps slightly overloaded and weighted down with gee-gaws. Perhaps the NACA-ducted hood and extended front end were a preview of the Mustang models to follow in 1971...
