Registered with Finnish museum papers, it combines heritage, authenticity, and collectible value.
The Shelby GT500 is one of the most celebrated American muscle cars, introduced in 1967 as a high-performance evolution of the Mustang. Developed under the guidance of Carroll Shelby, it offered more power, aggressive styling, and enhanced handling, making it a legend on both road and track. Its 428 cubic inch V8 delivered immense torque and speed, while its distinctive design with dual stripes and aerodynamic details cemented its place as a cultural icon. Collectors prize the G.T.500 not only for its rarity but also for its place in motoring history as one of the ultimate expressions of 1960s American performance engineering. Owning a Shelby G.T.500 is regarded as holding a piece of muscle car heritage, combining driving excitement with investment potential.
