In 1967, Ford and Shelby decided to add another Mustang variant alongside the company’s Trans-Am ready GT 350. Called the GT 500, the new Shelby Mustang featured a 428-cubic inch V8 engine and multiple upgrades to the exterior, as well as a few mechanical enhancements. This has made the Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500 one of the most popular cars in automotive history. If the GT 500 was not powerful enough for people, there was also the Shelby Mustang GT 500 “King of the Road” version that came with a higher performance 428 Cobra Jet V8 engine under the hood. In 2007, Ford revived the Shelby GT 500 trim level by dropping a 500 horsepower, 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine into the Mustang model for that year, and in 2013, an all-new Shelby Mustang GT 500 was introduced, this time with a 662 horsepower, 5.8-liter supercharged V8 engine. For people who like power in their Mustang, it is hard to beat the GT 500 model – today or back in 1967.
