[QUOTE=cougar;36611]It's real, I put the engine in it. This one is a real 1967 Shelby GT 500 also. It is the lowest mile 67 GT 500 in the world with 4600 miles, that's 4600, not thousand. It has a 427 tunnel port.
Frank [QUOTE] Frank ,you have a nice collection and sounds like a very low mileage 67. I think the point that was trying to be made was the factory never installed the 427 in your car . Your car was " owner modified ". FYI the original Ford mfg 427 aluminum blocks from back in the 60's were extremely rare and not engineered well that is why you did not see them in the racing GT40's ,stock cars etc. It wasn't until the recent past that Dove and other aftermarket vendors came up with a recent usable alternative. The new Shelby block is another new to the aftermarket aluminum block.
