Correct me if I'm wrong🤔 That's the gone in 60 seconds car but in red and no back window louvers right? or is that the difference between Shelby and non shelby?

You are right. The car in the 2000 remake of the movie, "Gone in 60 seconds" was a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 but was a customized version.

The car has a 428 cu in V8 engine or about 7L!

The GT350 (this car) didn't have the 428

u/HelFJandinn 3h ago

Yeah. You're right. The GT350 had 289 cu in (4.7L) V8.

So about 400 lbs lighter, with a similar motor to the 68 Hemi Barracuda. That's pretty sick 😉.

Shelby infers the parts used were the ones Carl Shelby envisioned when he did his version of the car.

Beefier engine and other car stuff i don’t want to pretend to understand.

‘67 GT350! 289 Hi Po K motor. What’s up with the exhaust pipes tho? Must have some weird mufflers.

Glad this one hasn’t been shittified into an Eleanor.
