'69 Shelby GT-500™

wildly popular car that almost single-handedly changed the entire
automobile industry in the US. In what was undoubtedly a major
gamble seeing what the Mustang meant to Ford’s bottom line,
the new for ’69 models were longer and more flowing with sharp
body creases formerly seen on the old car, now smoothed out.
This was a period of major change for the Shelby GT-500, as
well. 1969 marked the second year of Shelby production in a Ford
assembly plant back in Michigan. For its first three years, the car

in showrooms with an entirely different front end treatment, its front
fenders and hood now formed from fiberglass to reduce the weight
from its already heavy front end. Out back, the now familiar sequential
tail lamps from the 1965 Thunderbird appeared for another season.
While some thought the Shelby Mustang was getting a bit soft
around the edges now that items such as air conditioning and the
famous Ford “rim-blow” steering wheel appeared on the available
equipment list, this was still a pretty healthy pony. Choosing the
right boxes on the option form got you a 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet
engine with functional ram air that developed 335 horsepower,
Traction-Lok rear end, an upgraded suspension and your choice
of a four speed manual or heavy-duty automatic transmission.
Your new Revell Motor City version of the ’69 Shelby
GT-500 features a custom high-rise intake for the big
engine as well as cool aftermarket style wheels and tires.
