1969 Shelby GT500… or 1970? 🤔 The Shelby Year Mystery
Description
These Shelby GT350s and GT500s were built as 1969 cars, but hundreds remained unsold after Shelby’s agreement with Ford ended.
Ford later converted the remaining cars, changing their identification and making them legally saleable as 1970 models. The cars received details like the black hood stripes and chin spoiler — but underneath, they remained fundamentally 1969-built Shelbys.
So here’s the real debate:
📜 Officially: 1970
🏭 Originally constructed: 1969
What do YOU call it? 👇
🔵 1970 Shelby
