This GT500 Fastback is one of 1,536 units built in 1969. The 428ci Cobra Jet Ram-Air V8 is connected to the 4-speed manual gearbox (matching numbers).

Many new 'functional' design features were introduced with the 1969 Shelby including a Ram-Air bonnet made of fiberglass (three air intakes and two air exhausts), fiberglass front mudguards with air intakes, fiberglass Quarter Air-Scoop intakes in the rear, fiberglass Rear-Deck cover with spoiler and a new transversal exhaust system made of aluminium which is led out under the rear bumper and positioned in the centre with a dual exhaust opening.

The Shelby has all of the luxury options from 1969: power steering, hi-back bucket seats, a tilting steering wheel and powerful front disc brakes. The vehicle starts immediately, shifts smoothly and powerfully through all gears, idles nicely at 800 rpm and brakes properly. This Shelby also has as good as new Radial BF Goodrich tyres, nice chrome and a beautiful Competition Red paint job.

The interior is in very good condition and features the original 3WA White Knit Vinyl upholstery. It’s really noticeable it was always lovingly maintained by its 3 past owners. The car was sold new in the Bay Area (California) to a Vietnam veteran who owned the car for about 15 years after which he sold it to a collector/enthusiast who exported it to Canada (with about 27,000 original miles on the counter at the time). In 2005, the car was brought back to America. The Shelby was exported to the Netherlands in 2021, it has a new Dutch technical inspection (APK) and a Dutch registration. The car currently has 31,592 miles on the odometer, it really has only been used on special occasions.

What makes this Shelby GT500 unique is that it comes with a lot of history including photos and a lot of invoices - rarely offered like this. The car comes with a Marti Report and is registered in the Shelby register.

This excellent Shelby GT500 Fastback is a great investment, don’t miss this opportunity and become the new owner of this very unique muscle car!
