Plans were immediately put in action to further push the performance envelope, though the GT500 would initially be fitted with the same Police Interceptor V8, as well as an optional 427 cubic-inch V8, at the beginning of the 1968 model year. This was immediately followed by the introduction of the GT500, and its accompanying 428 cubic-inch, Police Interceptor V8. It was then that the Mustang’s engine bay was redesigned to enable fitment of more sizable powerplants.
Looking back, the stage had initially been set for the Cobra Jet a year prior, in 1967. Through these efforts, the now legendary 428 cubic-inch, Cobra Jet V8 was born, as was a new GT500 model, known as the Shelby Cobra GT500 KR. In a bid to up the ante, and further bolster the GT500’s performance credibility, plans were hatched to develop a new powerplant that would provide an unequivocal degree of output. The “Cobra” moniker had also been added to all Shelby Mustangs, as part of Ford’s increased marketing efforts. Shelby himself was not as intimately involved in styling and production efforts as in years prior, and Ford had exercised further control over all facets of the Shelby line. A new, more robust variant of the GT500 was set to make waves across the American automotive landscape, much to the joy of Mustang enthusiasts the world over.Īt the time, the production of the Shelby GT500 had been moved from Carrol Shelby’s Los Angeles production facility to Michigan. However, Ford had greater plans in store for its flagship performance car.
