Finished in factory-correct Candy Apple Red with white Le Mans stripes, this GT500 is one of only 53 produced in that color for the model year. Originally sold new through Tasca Ford—one of the most storied high-performance dealers in Shelby history—the car carries significant provenance and is listed in the official Shelby Registry. Under the hood lies a date-code-correct Q-code 428 cubic-inch 8V V8 engine, backed by an automatic transmission. The setup includes correct casting Holley carburetors—2804 in the front and 2805 in the rear—paired with an intake manifold marked C7ZX-8425-A.

It rides on Shelby alloy wheels wrapped in Goodyear white-letter tires, completing the authentic late-1960s performance look. Supporting documents include a Deluxe Marti Report and original build sheets, adding valuable verification to its specifications. Though a previous title lists an odometer discrepancy per the NMVTIS report, the vehicle's strong documentation and desirable configuration continue to enhance its appeal. This 1967 GT500 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Shelby American's golden era—built for performance, documented for posterity, and finished in a head-turning factory color combination that will stand out in any serious collection.

Revology 1967 Shelby GT500 review: the bar for resto Mustangs just got much, much higher Reviews 2025
Bite your cynical alter ego's tongue, please. This is a 1967 Shelby GT500, built by the fine folks of Revology Cars, which means it's not just another restomod slapped together to make a quick buck off of people who refer to all classic Mustangs as 'an Eleanor'. Does it now? Indeed. If you recall our last run-around with a Revology Mustang, there was much bristling around the label 'restomod' from company founder and CEO Tom Scarpello due to the association the term has with the roughshod junk flooding the Mustang market. After an exhaustive deep dive into how Revology makes its products – including a walkthrough of its Florida facility – we're here to tell you that is very much not the case here. Where's Revology at these days? Physically, in Orlando, Florida. But business-wise, they're in a good place. Revology now lives under the umbrella of Knighthead Capital Management, which doesn't mean much to the average Joe on its own, but is relevant here because Knighthead also has a controlling stake in Singer, the famous Porsche restoration company. Though the two companies operate independently, to be able to call Revology 'the Singer of Mustangs' is worth the association alone. It's a great shorthand for the level of quality Scarpello and crew are committed to with their offerings. Enough business talk. Power! Speed! Yes! This Shelby GT500 is fitted with a Ford/Roush 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that screws up 710hp and lays it all down to the rears by way of a six-speed manual. You can hear it screaming out the back of the Borla exhaust Revology had tuned specifically for this car and it sounds as powerful as it feels. It doesn't feel right to simply say 'pretty good' without talking about build quality first, and my summary is barely going to do the process justice. Stick with us, this is cool. Let's start by saying Revology builds its cars like an OEM, which was evident throughout a tour of what is basically its mini assembly plant. There is no 'let's take an old Mustang and shove aftermarket bits' here, there is an agonizing design and build process that has a legacy automaker's level of scrutiny throughout each stage, most of it unsexy but no less fascinating. I sat through a 30-minute presentation about making a better powered window, and was transfixed by the level of importance this and other oft-overlooked components receive. Returning to the Shelby, this GT500 benefits from a number of updates made to the recent batch of Mustangs, including a revised assembly process that now includes the use of structural adhesives to improve rigidity. As I climb in, Scarpello is eager to point out a number of upgrades. The seats? New and sourced from the Mazda MX-5, because the answer is always Miata. Even in other cars, apparently. They're just a better fit, physically and thematically, than what the aftermarket offers. Pedal geometry adjustments and tweaks to the gearbox have been made, which Scarpello points out as a fix to one of the observations I made in the 'Bullitt' Mustang I drove before.

Judge Kills ‘Eleanor' Mustang Copyright Appeal. All Replicas Are Legal
The latest car news, reviews, and features. The grey restomod Shelby GT500 Mustang known as 'Eleanor' from Gone in 60 Seconds is iconic and immediately recognizable to car nerds. It is not, however, distinctive enough to have its likeness protected by copyright, at least according to the appeals court that has finally settled a case around this issue. As of May 27, 2025, an appeals court has upheld a previous ruling that stripped the original Gone in 60 Seconds director's estate of the rights to restrict independent outfits from building replicas of the GT500 that has appeared in four films. Yep, that's right, four . In addition to the original, there's Nicolas Cage Gone in 60 Seconds remake, along with a meta-film starring the original film's director ( The Junkman ), and a George-Lucas-esque re-imagining of the original dubbed Deadline Auto Theft . One might say that writer-director H. B. Halicki and his estate have been milking poor ole Ellie for all she's worth since day one, but an appellate court ruling out of Pasadena, Calif., looks like it'll put this old cow out to pasture for good. If this sounds familiar, you're not crazy. The suit brought by the Shelby Trust against Halicki's surviving wife, Denice (who owns the copyrights to the first three films, in addition to the merchandising rights to Eleanor as it appears in the remake film) was originally ruled on nearly three years ago. Previously, Shelby and Halicki had settled a suit relating to design details being mimicked by Shelby in a 'GT500E' replica it sold that looked conspicuously similar (virtually identical, one might say) to the car used in the 2000 remake of Gone in 60 Seconds . Not long after that suit was settled, Shelby and Classic Recreations came right back with the GT500-CR (pictured up top there). Unsurprisingly, Halicki went after both Shelby and CR for violating their settlement agreement, and has since gone after other builders who have ventured into the same space. The Shelby Trust ended up suing in retaliation. Again, Halicki's lawyers contended that Eleanor was a character and thus protected intellectual property, which would make it illegal for Shelby to build and sell unlicensed replicas. The estate lost the suit, then appealed. That brings us to the most recent ruling and something called the Towle Test. Official Fusion Motors 'Eleanor' replica. Named for a copyright case (DC Comics v. Mark Towle) involving unlicensed reproductions of the Adam West-era Batmobile, this is a standard applied to determine whether something constitutes a 'character.' All it has to do is check three boxes (cited here directly from the ruling): The character must have 'physical as well as conceptual qualities,' The character must be 'sufficiently delineated to be recognizable as the same character whenever it appears' and display 'consistent, identifiable character traits and attributes,' and The character must be 'especially distinctive' and contain 'some unique elements of expression.' According to the court, Eleanor misses all three qualifications. What hurts Halicki's case the most is Eleanor's inconsistent on-screen portrayal and lack of any anthropomorphizing qualities. In other words, Eleanor doesn't say or do anything distinctive, nor act in any inherently characteristic way. Courts don't necessarily expect a non-human character to take on K.I.T.T. levels of sentience, but a degree of agency (even if only implied through interaction with actual human or human-esque characters) goes a long way toward making the case that something is a character rather than a prop. And that's effectively what the court is calling Eleanor—just another prop car. This is the sort of rational take we expect from those who are fluent in legalese, and while we're all for opening up the taps to allow replica builders to produce cool stuff, we can't help but feel a bit let down. Call me a romantic if you must, but I find it hard to imagine just any old car getting Mephis Raines over that wreck on the Vincent Thomas Bridge. That was no mere prop. That was Eleanor . Got a tip?
