Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

The 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a high-performance car that took the collaboration between Carroll Shelby and Ford to the next level. Based on the Ford Mustang, the GT500 received numerous modifications to differentiate it from the production version, both visually and technically.

Under the hood was a 428 Cobra Jet V8 engine, officially rated at 335 hp, but often delivering significantly more power. This made the GT500 one of the most powerful Mustangs of its time.

The design of the 1969 model was both aggressive and luxurious, with an extended front end, integrated fog lights, a distinctive fiberglass hood, and aerodynamic body enhancements. Inside, the GT500 offered comfort features such as leather seats, a wood-trimmed steering wheel, and numerous Shelby emblems.

Today, the 1969 Shelby GT500 is a sought-after collector's item and a symbol of the heyday of American muscle car culture.
