The 1967 Shelby was completely redesigned with a fiberglass hood with twin scoops and racing-style lock-down pin, all steel piece deep opening mouth grille with two round high-beam headlights placed side-by-side in the middle (later in the year the lights were separated due to pressure from some state departments of motor vehicles), a single line front bumper with out vertical components, and working protruding rear wheel and rear quarter window air scoops. Early 1967 models had a round red running light installed in the rear opening of the rear quarter window air scoop but was dropped due to legal concerns. The rear of the car has a three piece spoiler and extra wide taillights where mounted on a smooth flat panel. In 1967 Shelby introduced the new GT-500 which packed the 355hp, 425 cubic inch, big-block, V8. Both the GT-350 and GT-500 came only as fastbacks, although there was one prototype GT-500 convertible.
