The Shelby GT500 once again utilized Ford’s Deluxe interior package for the 1969 model year. This package included high-back seats, as well as simulated wood grain accents, which spanned the car’s dash, door panels, and center console. A three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel also came standard.
This engine featured heavy-duty police interceptor connecting rods, 427 “low-riser” cylinder heads, and hydraulic camshafts. The Cobra Jet’s iron intake manifold was topped with a Holley 735-cfm four-barrel carburetor.
The Cobra Jet equipped GT500 was rated at 335 HP, and 440 lb-ft of torque, which were quite robust figures during the era in which this iconic Mustang was built. The 1969 Shelby GT500 was capable of posting 0-60 MPH times of approximately 6-seconds and could complete a ¼ mile pull in approximately 16 seconds.
This power was directed through a four-speed Ford Toploader transmission or an optional C6 automatic. The GT500 also came equipped with Traction-Lok limited-slip rear axles.
