Why it matters
The 1967 GT500 was the first big-block Shelby GT. It used a modified Police Interceptor 428 and outsold the small-block GT350 of that year.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package production1967 GT500s built (Shelby's own figure sometimes given as 2,048) | 2,0501Strongest evidence | Factory production | Disputed |
Sources differ: RM Sotheby's says 2,050 1967 GT500s, supercars.net gives 2,048 (outsold the GT350's 1,175).
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
