special order Springtime Yellow 1967 Mustang Shelby GT-350 fastback owned by Jon Lee from Humble, Texas. Let's hope Jon sends us some additional larger shots of this amazing car. Jon tells us, "I bought this car from California several years ago. Its a numbers matching 1967 GT-350 4-speed, with special factory ordered air conditioning and in-board highbeams. This is the 1st yellow Shelby Mustang ordered of all years 65-69 and the only 'true' 1967 Factory Yellow Shelby Mustang per Marti Report. A 1 of 1 car. There is no Yellow 67 GT-500 brother to go with this car."

On the Shelby specification sheet this color was printed at the bottom as "Shelby Unit Spec Paint WT6066" and the door data plate color was left blank. Mid 1968, Shelby introduced the GT-500KR or "King of the Road" which used Ford's new unofficially rated 400hp, 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet engine along with other handling/safety modifications to contain the power.
