The 1970 Shelby GT500 represents the culmination of Carroll Shelby's legendary collaboration with Ford, marking the final year of the original Shelby Mustang production. By this point, the cars had evolved significantly from their track-focused origins, becoming more refined grand tourers while retaining their potent performance credentials. The 1970 models, though technically 1969 cars re-VIN'd due to unsold inventory, featured unique black hood stripes and revised front spoilers, distinguishing them from their immediate predecessors. Total production for 1970 was limited, with only 789 GT500s built across both fastback and convertible body styles, making them a rare sight and a highly sought-after piece of American muscle car history. This particular 1970 Shelby GT500 Convertible is an exceptional example, showing an astonishingly low 390 miles on the odometer. It is powered by the formidable 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air engine, a powerplant renowned for its brutal torque and straight-line speed, paired with a manual transmission for an unfiltered driving experience. The convertible body style further enhances its appeal, offering the thrill of open-air motoring combined with the roar of that iconic big-block V8. To find a 1970 GT500 with such minimal mileage and in this configuration is a truly remarkable discovery for any serious collector.
