The
Shelby Mustang is a high performance variant of the
Ford Mustang which was built by
Shelby American from 1965 through 1970. Following the introduction of the fifth generation
Ford Mustang, the
Shelby nameplate was revived in 2007 for new high performance versions of the
Mustang. For
1967 Ford Mustang, the
GT 350 carried over the K-Code high performance 289 with a 'COBRA' aluminum hi-rise. The
Ford Mustang GT 500 was added to the lineup, equipped with the 428 Police Interceptor. These later cars carried over few of the performance modifications of the
1965-66 GT350s, although they did feature more cosmetic changes.
In September 1967, production was moved to the A.O. Smith Company of Ionia, Michigan, under Ford control. Shelby American had substantially less involvement after this time. For 1968, the Cobra name was applied to both models, and they were now marketed as the
Shelby Cobra GT 350 and the
Shelby Cobra GT 500. In February 1968, the
Cobra GT 500-KR "King of the Road" debuted; under the hood was a 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet V8 which was rated at 335 horsepower (250 kW).
