Full title: 'Little Red' 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 found after 50 years, could be worth millions

“Could be”, but isn’t.

The moment I seen the pic the first thing I thought was California Special, I became aware of the California Special from a magazine article about five years ago.

[niteowl77]

the first California Special Mustang, which aped its styling, if not performance

A guy in my hometown was a Mustang nut and spent some serious coin at the time to buy a California Special, which was immediately ridiculed by all the local gearheads for its rather limited abilities.

That car led an unhappy life out here on the prairie.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

It doesn’t look like it has a rust spot on it. Easy resto.

Are those bias ply tires!

Here's a Fastback version...

“...a snazzy vinyl roof...”
I remember when those things were hot and everyone wanted one on every car. Getting old...

[Clay Moore]

I looked at a green factory big block GTCS in Weatherford about 30 yrs ago and passed on it due to the large amount of rust. I wonder if this is the same guy? Maybe I should have wandered around more....

"Little Red was primarily configured with a supercharged 428 V8 and 3-speed automatic transmission"

The article goes on to note dual fuel pumps and that denotes the possibly pf Dual Paxton Superchargers. may have been fitted at one point. That isn't out of the question as Shelby did just that to 2 Cobra's, one for himself and the other for Bill Cosby. The Carol Shelby personally owned Twin Paxton Supercharger Cobra one was sold a few years ago, and the Cosby one was destroyed after he sold it(driver committed suicide in it) and someone is or has resurrected that wreck and it is not looked upon favorably within the Shelby community, or so I read.

And it could be worth millions.

I'd guess the owner of that piece of junk would gladly take even just one million, maybe one thousand.

You car guys are missing out on probably the best classic car show on the planet today. The Woodard Dream Cruise, 10 miles of classic cars............

“Needs minor repair”

[OldSmaj]

Meh.

Still a damned Ford.

[Leep]

OTherwise, it’s worth $150-300 scrap.

[Bringbackthedraft]

If they made that car today, it would sell.

[newfreep]

My first car was a ‘67 Mustang Fastback, 289, fold-down rear seat in burgundy red - a great car for a high screwel senior. The girls loved it...but eventually it turned into a total piece of unreliable junk and the last US car I ever bought.

Eventually, I drove it to LA and traded it for a VW Bug at Bob Smith’s Hollywood VW/Porsche that had a brand new 911 with a $5000 sticker price on the showroom floor.

"A lot of those scratches will buff right out."

[from occupied ga]

I wouldn’t give two cents for it. It’s basically an old junker.

[SteveH]

I would inagine there could be some rust issues under the vinyl top.
Also it has probably been picked over for parts...
