The Shelby GT-500 Mustang is a classic American muscle car that is highly sought after by car enthusiasts all over the world. This particular 1967 Shelby GT-500 Mustang is a true barn find, having been discovered in a state of disrepair after years of neglect. But we couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring this beautiful car back to life, so we decided to embark on a restoration project and document every step of the process.


The first step in restoring this 1967 Shelby GT-500 Mustang was to assess the condition of the car and come up with a plan for the restoration. We found that the car had been sitting in a barn for many years and had suffered from neglect and exposure to the elements. The body was in poor condition, with rust and rot in many areas. The engine and transmission were also in need of major repairs.


With a plan in place, we set to work on the restoration. We began by stripping the car down to its bare frame, which allowed us to repair any damage and rust that had accumulated over the years. We also rebuilt the engine and transmission, which required a significant investment in parts and labor.


As the car began to take shape, we focused on the exterior, rebuilding the body and repainting it in the original color. We also replaced the original wheels and tires with new ones, giving the car a fresh, modern look.

Finally, with the restoration complete, we were able to fire up the engine and take the car for its first drive. The experience of driving a restored 1967 Shelby GT-500 Mustang is truly something special, and we are thrilled to have been able to bring this car back to life.


In total, the restoration of this 1967 Shelby GT-500 Mustang cost us around $50,000, which includes the cost of the car, parts, and labor. It was a significant investment, but the end result is a beautiful, fully restored classic car that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.


In conclusion, restoring a classic car like the 1967 Shelby GT-500 Mustang is a labor of love that requires a significant investment of time and money. But the end result is a car that is not only beautiful to look at, but also a pleasure to drive. We hope that our journey of restoring this 1967 Shelby GT-500 Mustang barn find will inspire other car enthusiasts to take on similar projects and bring more classic cars back to life.
