1967 GT500 shelby barn find Reply #6 – September 04, 2015, 09:02:12 PM 1967 Shelby GT-500s did not have solid lifter 427 cams. Early (first 100 or so) '67 GT-500s came through with 390s (dogs). Then as regular production moved along with the 428 PI with dual 4Vs (way over carb'd) However, its one of the nicest body styled Shelbys built. "Inboard" or "Outboard" headlights were regulated by each states lighting requirements. Most were produced with "Outboards" Also, the GT-350s HP ratings using the 289HP engine was not reduced even though the '67s used cast iron manifolds, where as the '65-66s used Tri-Y headers. The 428CJ made its debut in 1968 1/2 as the GT-500KR. '69-70s dropped the "KR" since the standard GT-500 engine was the 428CJ. Quote Selected
