A 1967 Shelby GT500 finished in Dark Moss Green over black vinyl, powered by the Ford Cobra 428-cubic-inch V-8 paired with a four-speed manual gearbox and factory air conditioning — a combination reportedly built in just six examples of that colour. Delivered new to a Florida Ford dealership, the car spent roughly 45 years with a single California collector before a full rotisserie restoration by Michigan Shelby specialists, after which it earned a Gold Prize at the 2022 SAAC 47 concours.
