From what I’ve researched, Shelby planned to build about 3 dozen 427FE-powered ‘67 GT500 Mustangs, I suspect the ones that do show up were installed post dealer delivery.Being the old fart that I am I just wanted to point out that I thought there were a few, and I mean less than a handful of 1967 GT500s that were initially equipped with Fords 427 sideoiler FE prior to switching over to the 428PI and then the 428CJ, if I'm not mistaken. Anybody else remember that?
I believe that that ‘67 Super Snake is the only authentic and documented 427FE Shelby GT500 ever produced
Reportedly, a couple of unknown publications printed a photo of what was described as a “pre-production pilot 427 Mustang, indicating that Ford engineers did produce a 427 test mule or two for 1968.
A handful of W-code (single-barrel/390 hp) 427s were installed into the very early, ‘68 Cougar GTE cars.
Per Kevin Marti’s research, not a single W-code record exists in Ford data for any ‘68 427 Mustangs.
But who knows what those Mustang engineers worked on in their private garages...and unleashed on the streets in 1968?
