The Shelby GT500 of 1969 and 1970 represents the pinnacle of Shelby American's collaboration with Ford, marking the ultimate evolution of the "King of the Road" ethos. By this point, the Mustang had grown, and Carroll Shelby's touch transformed it into a grand, powerful touring machine rather than a stripped-down racer. The 1970 models, though visually identical to the '69s, are particularly rare, as they were unsold 1969 models re-VIN'd and marketed a year later, making original 1970 production figures exceptionally low. These cars were factory titans, featuring distinctive fiberglass components like the extended hood with five NACA ducts, side scoops, and a rear spoiler, all contributing to an aggressive, unmistakable presence. This particular 1970 Shelby GT500 Convertible is an exceptional example, showing just 390 miles on the odometer. Power comes from the legendary 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air engine, a powerhouse known for its robust torque and thunderous exhaust note, paired with a manual transmission for an engaging driving experience. Finished as a convertible, it offers the exhilarating open-air motoring that perfectly complements the big-block muscle under the hood. To find a Shelby of this vintage with such incredibly low mileage is a truly rare proposition for the discerning collector.
