1967 Shelby GT350 Fastback

The Ford Shelby is an iconic machine for many reasons and most serious car collectors will want one as the cornerstone of their lineup. Quite frankly, you are unlikely to find any superior offerings to this breathtaking 1967 Shelby GT350 Fastback that is going under the hammer at RM Sotheby’s Arizona auction this year. This majestic looking steed is an exceptionally early, correct, and well-documented “upper scoop-light” iteration; the 12th GT 350 produced for the model year.

This glorious 1967 Shelby GT350 Fastback from RM Sotheby’s was delivered new to Lynch-Davidson Ford of Jacksonville, Florida and it was initially kept as a demonstrator/press car by Shelby American. About as aesthetically impactful as they come, this Shelby is finished in Dark Moss Green with white Le Mans stripes over black vinyl and it has the muscular visual impact you’d expect from a vehicle of this nature.

Though it has a pretty hefty guide price of between $200-300k, this stunning Shelby boasts an awful lot of desirable features that make it worth the outlay. It comes with power steering, power disc brakes, shoulder harnesses, push-button radio, 15-inch Kelsey-Hayes deluxe “mag star” wheels, an extra cooling package, and a four-speed manual transmission that allows you to show what the engine is capable of.

Somewhat remarkably, given its age, this sensational Shelby remains comprehensively correct throughout and exhibits an astonishing amount of the original sheet metal, which is doubtlessly courtesy of the comprehensive Ziebart undercoating, which it received quite early in its life, and subsequently the fact it had been kept for 13 years in a dry storage facility.

Now offered for the first time at auction, this incredibly early and well-documented GT350 Fastback from RM Sotheby’s is undoubtedly among the finest examples of its rarified breed. Having been previously restored with extraordinary attention to detail, the fact that it comes supplied with a trove of important Shelby American documentation and is still powered by its numbers-matching engine are both tremendous supplements to its already-considerable allure. One not to miss.
