Lame 67 500 Testing |

Mike,
I have most of the significant 1967 magazines that have the road tests of the 67 500's. I have too agree the results are not impressive. I own a 67 500. I do not know how many persons are aware because if youare not involved in Shelbys you may not be privy to published information but, that testing was done on a GT-500 with a 390. The published quarter mile times match the 390 Mustang tests of the day. This is a good clue that led to investigation into the lame test results in the late by persons involved with Shelby. As reported, the Shelby assembly people had problems with much of the fiberglass parts. Due to these problems, they were running very behind in schedules and rushed to meet the deadline needed by the magazines for testing to get a car ready. Thus they ended up getting a car ready that had a 390, not the 428.
