2024 SCOTTSDALE AUCTION: 1967 Shelby GT500CR Re-Creation – No Reserve

November 9, 2023
Posted by Barrett-Jackson

Created under license by Shelby Licensing, this 1967 Shelby GT500CR is one of 25 all-carbon fiber GT500CRs built in 2022. More than 600 pounds lighter than the original 1967 Shelby GT500, this re-creation was completed on January 19, 2022. It is powered by a third-generation Ford Performance 5.0-liter Magnuson VMP supercharged Coyote V8 engine paired with a TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission. Casting a sinister presence with its raw carbon-fiber exterior, this unforgettable car features Dark Shadow racing stripes, and the body is fully wrapped in paint protection film.

Featuring vertical stitching, the black leather Carroll Shelby Heritage interior includes Carroll Shelby’s distinctive signature on the dash, and it is also embroidered into the seatbacks. This car also features a wood-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, white shift knob and Shelby-branded white-faced Classic Instruments gauges. Other options include a Wilwood high-performance hydro-boost braking system, coilover suspension, air conditioning, an Alpine digital AM/FM CD stereo system driven by a trunk-mounted Focal amplifier, a custom-built Rick’s fuel tank, a rear-mounted Optima battery, and aluminum-accented clutch, brake and accelerator pedals. A front fascia/spoiler, twin close-coupled large-diameter driving lamps, a 1967 Shelby-style scooped hood, dual side-exit exhaust and handsome 10-spoke Shelby alloy wheels round out the visuals for this awesome, limited-production reinterpretation of Carroll Shelby’s Mustang-based GT500.

The sale includes a Classic Recreations Certificate of Authenticity with all build specifications. For about two decades, Classic Recreations has been building high-performance American muscle cars in keeping with Shelby’s rich legacy. In a 70,000-square-foot facility in Flower Mound, TX, the company’s signature products are built-to-order, officially licensed Shelby Mustangs that are the products of some 2,500 hours with exacting precision and attention to detail.
