The 1967 Shelby G.T. 500 was the first model built in the Shelby G.T. 500 range. It is based on the 1967 Mustang and is equipped with a FE 428 cu in (7.0 L) Police-Interceptor V8 engine topped with an aluminum mid-rise intake and 2X4-barrel 600 CFM Holley carburetors producing 355 bhp (360 PS; 265 kW) at 5,400 rpm and 420 lb-ft (569 N⋅m) at 3200 rpm of torque. Two thousand forty-eight were produced in 1967. Beginning in April 1968, Ford began factory installing a version of the 428 engine known as the “Cobra Jet”. This new engine featured a unique, 16-bolt exhaust flange. The GT500 was subsequently known as The Cobra GT500 KR. The initials KR stood for “King of the Road.” Ford rated the Cobra jet at 335 hp (250 kW), but with 440 lb-ft (597 N⋅m) of torque at 3,400 rpm, although the horsepower was considered significantly underreported, as it was later found that the engine made 435 hp.
