Every so often a real-deal Shelby surfaces at a number that makes you look twice, and this 1967 Shelby GT350 fastback on Hagerty Marketplace is exactly that car. Bidding sits at $85,000 with three days left on the clock, and because this one is offered at no reserve, it is going home with somebody when the auction closes Thursday, September 17.
The numbers are what make it interesting. Shelby American built just 1,175 GT350s for 1967, and the Deluxe Marti Report that comes with this car narrows it further: one of only 821 built with this engine and transmission pairing, and one of just 438 finished in its paint code. Brittany Blue with white rocker stripes is a combination that looks far more expensive than the current bid suggests, and against a black Decor interior it is about as handsome as a 1967 Shelby gets.
Under the hood is the K-code 289ci four-barrel V8 fed by a 715 cfm Holley on an aluminum intake, backed by a top-loader four-speed manual. That is the drivetrain buyers want, and the seller has posted photos of the engine date code stamping and intake casting in the gallery for anyone who wants to check the work themselves.
The option sheet reads like somebody at Holiday Ford knew exactly what they were doing. Power steering, power front disc brakes, outboard driving lamps, shoulder harnesses, the extra cooling package, the Sport Deck rear seat, the Interior Decor Group, the Courtesy Light Group, a heavy-duty battery, and a tachometer with trip odometer are all documented on the Marti Report. Deluxe Mag Star wheels wearing Goodyear Speedway raised-white-letter tires and a set of Koni shocks round out the package.
The paper trail is just as good. The car was built May 25, 1967, shipped to Holiday Ford in Sunnyvale, California, and the seller says it was sold new from that dealership on July 15, 1967. It stayed with a single family from 1980 until the seller acquired it, and it has been registered in Florida since 2021. A refurbishment was completed by Revolution Speed Shop in Auburn, Washington, before the current owner bought it, the car appears in the Shelby Registry, and it comes with a binder of records and a clean Florida title in the owner's name. The indicated mileage reads 5,250, though it is listed as TMU.
The seller has not hidden anything, either. The listing notes the car was in an accident at some point, the left-front inner apron was replaced, and the original Ford chassis number was grafted back into place. An emergency flasher knob needs replacing. What stands out is how quickly the seller has answered questions in the comments, confirming the original smog equipment is all installed and pointing bidders to specific photos of the transmission tag and rear-end date codes.
It sits in Stuart, Florida, and a Broad Arrow specialist is handling the transaction on the seller's behalf. With eight bids in and no reserve standing in the way, a genuine, documented, K-code four-speed GT350 in one of the prettiest colors Ford offered is about to change hands. That is worth watching.
