Overview
1967 Ford Mustang GT500
The Hi-Tech Legends 1967 SHELBY GT500 is a Shelby Licensed reproduction of arguably the most desirable American Muscle Car of All Time. One of the many achievements of American automotive legend Carroll Shelby, the 1967 GT500 is a thrilling throwback to the era of loud, gas-gargling American Muscle.
Given the industry's push towards making classic cars more safe and comfortable to drive has led to a deviation from the traditional restoration. As vehicle technology has advanced, and various new car parts and accessories have become available to the aftermarket, a new type of modernized classic car has emerged. It is not uncommon to see original classic cars having been fit with a modern engine, transmission, brakes and suspension. All while maintaining the original styling of the car.
Purchasing and attempting to restomod an original vehicle from the 60's does however come with many challenges. One quickly forgets that cars manufactured in the 60's are all now more than 50 years old. The few remaining unrestored vehicles will inevitably waste away to nothing, eventually becoming completely uneconomical to restore. Those that have been saved from this fate have been restored to varying levels of quality. The varying quality corresponds directly with the level of skill of the person aor company tasked with undertaking the restoration or simply the budget available.
Hi-Tech Legends removes the inconsistencies and variances by relying on their history, capacity, and capability to built these cars at an OE level with the reliability and sustainability of 30 years of building 1960's Rolling Chassis for Superformance and Shelby Legendary Cars. The Hi-Tech Legends is not offering a modernised restoration of a 60 year old vehicle built, but a modern day manufactured AND modern reproduction or replica of that vehicle, a proven concept in the industry.
In doing so the 1967 Shelby GT500, and others like it, will most certainly continue to be driven for many years to come. This Shelby Licensed GT500 are offered and sold as rolling chassis, with many drivetrain options available. Hi-Tech Legends 1967 Shelby GT500 rolling chassis starts at $253,000.
