Description
Lot #725 - This GT500 428 SCJ Drag-Pack Shelby was built on May 21, 1969, at the Dearborn Ford assembly plant and sold new at Metro Ford Sales of Canada. The engine has been rebuilt and nicely detailed. It is powered by its matching-numbers 428ci Super Cobra Jet engine backed by the factory-optioned large-input 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter and stock shift shaft and knob. Factory equipment includes a 3.91 Traction-Lok differential, sports deck rear seat, power steering, power front disc brakes, tilt-away steering wheel, power ventilation, AM/FM radio, intermittent windshield wipers and visibility group. Shelby-installed equipment includes Lucas fog lights, 140 mph speedometer, 8,000 rpm tachometer, roll bar with shoulder harness and lap belts, and console gauges. As documented by its Marti Report, this Shelby was special ordered in Grabber Orange, and is one of seven finished in the color and equipped with a 428SCJ engine. This Shelby has always been well taken care of, retains most of its original interior and is in overall good condition. Additional options include oil cooler, upgraded LeMans connecting rods, steel crankshaft, forged pistons, flywheel with flex-plate, and harmonic balancer - all of which were mandatory with the Super Cobra Jet option. The original selling dealer's logo is still affixed to the trunk lid. This car is ready to be driven and includes two original sets of keys, Marti Reports, copy of SAAC documentation and history in the registry. The car retains both of its original fender aprons with factory VIN stampings behind windshield and driver’s door tags.
