Description:
The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1967 and by Ford Motor Company from 1968 to 1970.
The GTs lost their Cobra tag for 1969 and were marketed simply as the Shelby GT500.
For 1969 the vehicles received an extensive face lift with Ford being involved with the design and style decisions, with Shelby having little input. Carroll Shelby terminated his agreement with Ford in the summer of 1969.
No production of 1970 Shelby models was undertaken; however, unsold 1969 models were given 1970 vehicle identification numbers under FBI supervision.
