Oh my GOSH what an incredible find! It’s basically like a brand new pile of parts from the factory! It’ll be amazing to see it all assembled and running!

This is BY FAR my all-time favorite body style Mustang, and to own a factory Paxton supercharged 1967 Shelby Cobra is just overwhelming. I really don't believe that I could possibly own and restore a car like this because I have ADHD and OCD badly, and I would obsess over having the correct screws, nuts, bolts, and all fasteners to make it absolutely correct and pristine. Yeah, this coming from a guy who obsesses over horsepower and engine swaps, but this car is special and when you're restoring a historically significant vehicle like this, you almost owe it to Carroll Shelby to do your absolute best to make this car just as it was when it rolled out of the factory. You're restoring a piece of history and doing anything other than how it was done from the factory is almost like sacrilege. Bravo gentlemen! It looks absolutely beautiful!

Been a while, thanks for checking in with a comment. Yeah, we had a lot of fun uncovering this car. I think it borders on a holy grail.

Great car and story as usual from Jerry. I worked at Brizio street rods back in 98 to 2000. We had a customer who had a 66 Shelby Mustang with a factory supercharger that he bought brand new. I saw it with my own eyes and touched it with my own hands! He drove it to the shop one day for us all to drool over! I knew it had to be stupid rare , but I had no idea it was one of 11! He was pretty old then , so I'm sure he's no longer with us , but he was a super nice and very intelligent guy. I'm sure he had a plan for its future after he was gone.

Jerry!!! I've got to say this is so cool of you and the owner/builder of this supercharged Shelby Mustang, to share this experience with all of us other car guys/gals! I just can't tell you how much I appreciate you, and the time and effort it takes you to do these videos!

Not being a “Ford” guy, I thrilled to see all the different brackets and parts that had been collected over the years. Congratulations on your find to a great project ❤️

Love the argument over the scoops but when all said and done the man’s got a beer in hand

Many do not know that in late 66-67 Shelby had problems with fiberglass suppliers. What really needs to be done is WHEN each was built because both are based on production dates and more importantly WHAT WAS ON THE SHELF in the parts room. I owned a 67 GT500 for 24 yrs.. amazing what you discovered Shelby did to get cars out the door. Like the nibbler on the back panel and two different rear fiberglass taillight panels. SO did the blower car also have side scoops from a different maker?

This was so cool what an amazing Shelby and I love that color. Hope to see more videos on this car as it gets re assembled

PS I had a 1994 T-Bird with the Supercharged V6. I bought it for $500 about 8 years ago. The guy and his son had bought it and dumped a crazy amount of money in it. Ex:-lowered, pAint, new carpets, over 3.5 grand just in suspension work, he detailed everything. I also got 10 Rubbermaid totes full of other parts. An extra supercharger plus almost a complete motor, the list is endless. Well these years were famous for blowing head gaskets and he parked it cuz he could smell antifreeze burning AGAIN he says as he had already rebuilt the heads prior. His son found out due to medical issues that he wouldn't be able to get a license so they decided enough was enough and just wanted it to go to a car guy. Well I towed it home put in new battery and since I figured the motor pouched anyway why not start it. So I put some Barsleak in it and fired her up. Still driving to this day . There was a crack in the line for the heater return dripping on the heads. Ie:- the burning smell!!! Best buy I have ever done in my 50 years of buying and selling LOL.

Man! Like winning the lottery, on Christmas Day, which happens to be your birthday! I’m excited for ya, great score and nice video again Jerry! 👍

Awesome find! Seeing the car has 27K miles and factory ordered, check that the Carter fuel pump is correct for a blower car as the top half was cast special to accept pipe thread for a nipple & hose that went to the back of blower to keep pressure on diaphragm from "fluttering" under acceleration! My '66 blower unit was serviced by the Granetellis in North Philly in '83! A daily driver, had fun scaring away big block Chevys after they heard the "whistling" from under the hood. 👍When completed, DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!

I have a GT-500 in pieces right now and cannot move forward with it yet for financial reasons. I sort of envy these guys ability to have fun with these cars, but at the same time I live vicariously through them. I'm sure I'll get to mine at some point, question is when.

Back in the day my dad had a pair of 67 Shelby’s; a GT-500 and a GT-350. The 350 was originally equipped with a supercharger that had been removed before he bought it. The current owner restored it with the supercharger and gauges.

*Jerry!* Even this old Mopar guy can watch Jeff doing his thing with an "unobtanium" Ford/Shelby car and just be mesmerized... my jaw slack for about the entire video. This is true benchmark, legacy stuff. Incredible! The mind races with questions, of course. Why did the previous owner never attempt to put it back together? I mean, any of us who have gone through the process of rebuilding an old car know how much work is involved, sure....but this rascal seemed to be all about the "Hemmings boogie" of parts buying, not so much the actual assembling of the car. Looks like long on cash, short on free time? Who knows... Regardless of however Jeff found it - and obviously, he *knows* what he's doing - we know it WILL get assembled now, which means our friend *Jerry* WILL revisit the car - and we all get to SEE it back together! Jerry, these are heady days my friend. As always, *thank you* for bringing this all to us! - Ed on the Ridge

The history of mine was unusual , a paint scheme from the Ford Drag Team , foundvthis on photos 5 years ago with only known knowledge it was drag raced , a two color paint scheme . It was a 390 big block car with a very rough history . Sold it in 2001 after several years of fun , all metal replaced that needed the treatment and a few $1000 to bring it to its close beginnings .

Great video

the original and , one of one, 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500E was made to test high speed tires at Daytona for Ford and Goodyear. It was equipped with a supercharged 427 . It sold at Barret Jackson a while back for over a million.

Not a Stang fan, but wow, wow - this is fantastic...!

Nice UPS guy.

I love the 2 color blue, on both the blue cars, it's definitely 1 of my favorite color cars and I like the mopar blue on graveyard cars too the night sky blue

Dennis collins has one. Very cool story as well.

Dennis Collins recently bought the only white S/C GT-350, but it was modified into a Gasser drag-car. This guy should convince him to restore it to original ❗

I'd much rather purchase a classic that had all correct parts unassembled like they said a giant model car and put it together myself with no Mysteries to have when I'm driving it later. Oh and I would drive it I wouldn't park it!

Cool car ! They also made factory supercharged gt 500s and those are even rarer.

And actually, John Atzbach just sold two factory supercharged Shelby Cobras at Mecum back in 2020. One was the legit first supercharged model from Paxton, produced in 1965 (5S425), and the other was produced in 1966 (6S2265).
