This stunning 1967 Shelby GT350 is already a stunning collectible car – but it’s hiding a secret.
It’s been beautifully restored top to bottom complete with its factory candy-apple red finish.
Plus it’s packing a 289 HIPO 4 Speed under the hood.
However, it’s a little something extra that was completely unexpected and makes the car even more rare and desirable.

The stunning 1967 Shelby GT350
The GT350 was considered one of the hottest Shelbys and one of the brand’s top sellers before Ford took over.
While we aren’t sure what condition it was in prior, the car has undergone a full restoration.
The interior is super clean, featuring a black deluxe interior, and an original steering wheel.
Details include a 140 mph speedometer with an 8,000rpm tachometer, factory gauges, a factory radio, Stewart Warner gauges, the brand’s signature on the dash, restored Cobra seat belts, and a roll bar with harnesses.
What’s more, the trunk is in excellent condition, with date-coded panels, a full-size spare, and correct trunk mat stitching.
However, it’s the high-quality finish of the factory candy-apple red paintwork that’s the real showstopper.
Under the hood
The engine bay doesn’t disappoint either, with Ford Cobra valve covers and intake, and a visible Shelby VIN stamp.
The 1967 Shelby GT350 has aftermarket exhaust components but retains factory cast iron exhaust manifolds, producing a classic Shelby sound.
The secret pièce de résistance? A Paxton supercharger mated to a four-speed manual transmission.
Added to the 289 HiPo engine, it is allegedly an original unit however its authenticity is still to be confirmed via a serial number.
What’s clear, though, is whether original or not, the upgrade significantly boosts the car’s performance, increasing the car’s value and historical significance.
