Like a giant model car, you just have to find all the pieces and put it together.
Super Thanks button - in the shape of a heart enclosing a $ sign next to "Thanks" - is located just below the bottom right of the screen. It's been up there about 4 months, and I have received 4 "Super Thanks," which is a way to contribute money to this channel. My thanks for the 4 people that contributed. You are extremely rare and appreciated. Those 4 viewers are:

Oh my GOSH what an incredible find! It’s basically like a brand new pile of parts from the factory! It’ll be amazing to see it all assembled and running!
Not being a “Ford” guy, I thrilled to see all the different brackets and parts that had been collected over the years. Congratulations on your find to a great project ❤️
This was so cool what an amazing Shelby and I love that color. Hope to see more videos on this car as it gets re assembled
Will get something posted on this.
@@thewriter2549 awesome 👏
This is BY FAR my all-time favorite body style Mustang, and to own a factory Paxton supercharged 1967 Shelby Cobra is just overwhelming. I really don't believe that I could possibly own and restore a car like this because I have ADHD and OCD badly, and I would obsess over having the correct screws, nuts, bolts, and all fasteners to make it absolutely correct and pristine. Yeah, this coming from a guy who obsesses over horsepower and engine swaps, but this car is special and when you're restoring a historically significant vehicle like this, you almost owe it to Carroll Shelby to do your absolute best to make this car just as it was when it rolled out of the factory. You're restoring a piece of history and doing anything other than how it was done from the factory is almost like sacrilege. Bravo gentlemen! It looks absolutely beautiful!
i careless about OEM parts if i had this car i would put a 4-5 speed transmission in it . to me a car should be how new owner want it to be it not about how the car was build . and would put 4 way disk brakes and updated the suspension make it safer . i cant stand OEM fan boys just saying
@@funtyes1970 that would be a " Restomod", I'd even go farther remove the ICE and make it a B. Electric, oh , and store all those old ICE parts in drums with WD40 oil for future full restoration , just in case & for the sake of history.
I think the unnamed former owner was very much OCD ,but it worked out perfectly because the new owners can build a great car .
Great car and story as usual from Jerry. I worked at Brizio street rods back in 98 to 2000. We had a customer who had a 66 Shelby Mustang with a factory supercharger that he bought brand new. I saw it with my own eyes and touched it with my own hands! He drove it to the shop one day for us all to drool over! I knew it had to be stupid rare , but I had no idea it was one of 11! He was pretty old then , so I'm sure he's no longer with us , but he was a super nice and very intelligent guy. I'm sure he had a plan for its future after he was gone.
Love the show getting off on the shop talking it all most like being at the shop
Jerry!!! I've got to say this is so cool of you and the owner/builder of this supercharged Shelby Mustang, to share this experience with all of us other car guys/gals! I just can't tell you how much I appreciate you, and the time and effort it takes you to do these videos!
Thanks to Jeff for having you over to document some, and allowing you to share it with us👍 Thanks for putting this up ! Best days to you and yours Jerry !
Been a while, thanks for checking in with a comment. Yeah, we had a lot of fun uncovering this car. I think it borders on a holy grail.
Love the argument over the scoops but when all said and done the man’s got a beer in hand
Many do not know that in late 66-67 Shelby had problems with fiberglass suppliers. What really needs to be done is WHEN each was built because both are based on production dates and more importantly WHAT WAS ON THE SHELF in the parts room. I owned a 67 GT500 for 24 yrs.. amazing what you discovered Shelby did to get cars out the door. Like the nibbler on the back panel and two different rear fiberglass taillight panels. SO did the blower car also have side scoops from a different maker?
Awesome find! Seeing the car has 27K miles and factory ordered, check that the Carter fuel pump is correct for a blower car as the top half was cast special to accept pipe thread for a nipple & hose that went to the back of blower to keep pressure on diaphragm from "fluttering" under acceleration! My '66 blower unit was serviced by the Granetellis in North Philly in '83! A daily driver, had fun scaring away big block Chevys after they heard the "whistling" from under the hood. 👍When completed, DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!
That color! Beautiful.
Steve Davis (Barrett Jackson) has/had 1692 which has factory installed Paxton as per registry. There was a dark blue 67 at SAAC at Sonoma last summer that was reportedly original Paxton car… there are a few still roaming around out there! Lovely find.
Man! Like winning the lottery, on Christmas Day, which happens to be your birthday! I’m excited for ya, great score and nice video again Jerry! 👍
Amazing attention to detail
At least it was bought by the right guy Helluva find y'all Have fun piecing this one together
Definitely have to go back once that car is done. Amazing find.
Absolutely awesome!
This is just amazing. Like stepping back in time I would love to be part of something like that
I want to see it assembled and running. Cant wait. !!!!
I can't wait to see you guys complete this restoration
Jerry once again sir you amaze me. I feel if we met in person we'd hit it off. Between beers and car stories we would, could, and will if had the chance talk for days on end. I absolutely love the way you tell the story. Please continue to bring us these for as long as you are physically able. Oh and if you are ever EVER on Vancouver Island in the future and I will come find you anywhere on the island and buy the first dozen!!! Thank you for just being you sir!!! 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
PS I had a 1994 T-Bird with the Supercharged V6. I bought it for $500 about 8 years ago. The guy and his son had bought it and dumped a crazy amount of money in it. Ex:-lowered, pAint, new carpets, over 3.5 grand just in suspension work, he detailed everything. I also got 10 Rubbermaid totes full of other parts. An extra supercharger plus almost a complete motor, the list is endless. Well these years were famous for blowing head gaskets and he parked it cuz he could smell antifreeze burning AGAIN he says as he had already rebuilt the heads prior. His son found out due to medical issues that he wouldn't be able to get a license so they decided enough was enough and just wanted it to go to a car guy. Well I towed it home put in new battery and since I figured the motor pouched anyway why not start it. So I put some Barsleak in it and fired her up. Still driving to this day . There was a crack in the line for the heater return dripping on the heads. Ie:- the burning smell!!! Best buy I have ever done in my 50 years of buying and selling LOL.
😊😊😊tt0t
Best Mustang style, possibly best muscle car look ever !
I've said best looking Mustang for a long time. Best looking muscle car? I've have to opt for the 427 Cobra.
Wow , what an absolutely wonderful find , this is just so incredibly hard to comprehend . An absolute needle in a haystack find WOW ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ❤️
Wow, what an awesome story. I can't believe the volume of parts this guy had boxed up and wrapped. This should take a little time to restore, but should be miles of smiles along the way. And is it just me or does that guy Jeff(?), remind anybody else of Tim Allen? Great video. Thanks for sharing
People say that, the voice is similar.
I have a GT-500 in pieces right now and cannot move forward with it yet for financial reasons. I sort of envy these guys ability to have fun with these cars, but at the same time I live vicariously through them. I'm sure I'll get to mine at some point, question is when. Anyway, the bright side is that it's there, and I am not an old man.
What a great video! Thank you for such entertaining information
Love the video as always Jerry! Solid work 24/7
Thank you for your time and comment - means a lot to me.
Wow wow wow. Really enjoyed the video. Tks for sharing.
Just like you and your 67 GT500, this Shelby was just waiting for Jeff to rescue it. I hope he keeps it. I know you will be keeping yours!! Congrats to both of you. Russell
Great job Jerry. Was happy I was there when this was filmed.
Is there follow up video of the full build?
Amazing video sir, really appreciate it!
My Grandfather had a 1964 Studebaker Avanti with a 302 ci Ford motor , 4 barrel carburetor, a Paxton supercharger , and a automatic transmission . I wish I had that car now .
*Jerry!* Even this old Mopar guy can watch Jeff doing his thing with an "unobtanium" Ford/Shelby car and just be mesmerized... my jaw slack for about the entire video. This is true benchmark, legacy stuff. Incredible! The mind races with questions, of course. Why did the previous owner never attempt to put it back together? I mean, any of us who have gone through the process of rebuilding an old car know how much work is involved, sure....but this rascal seemed to be all about the "Hemmings boogie" of parts buying, not so much the actual assembling of the car. Looks like long on cash, short on free time? Who knows... Regardless of however Jeff found it - and obviously, he *knows* what he's doing - we know it WILL get assembled now, which means our friend *Jerry* WILL revisit the car - and we all get to SEE it back together! Jerry, these are heady days my friend. As always, *thank you* for bringing this all to us! - Ed on the Ridge
Thanks Ed
Such a beautiful car, I want to see more of this car being put back together, great video thank you for posting it
Totally a Holy Grail find! Thanks for sharing this 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I was going that direction, but Jeff said "not really."
@@thewriter2549 maybe not to him but someone else thinks that it is the HOLY GRAIL !
A friend of mine has two of those superchargers with the even more rare "Shelby" script carb housing. It's amazing history.
So much fun to watch! Thank you all! And Thank you Jerry!
Appreciate that, I think car people have a lot of fun in the shop and I tried to capture some of that in this story.
Great find and great story!
So Cool! I would love to find someone as excited & interested in my husbands car that has just been sitting in the garage for 20 years. It’s a shame it’s not being loved & driven. It was his first car. 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible Rag Top. Life got in the way. Dallas,Tx area.
Might be a good story for us on this channel. Send me an email about this - jerryheasley@gmail.com
That's supercharger man that makes it really cool at least for me cuz I'm a supercharger guy and I love him Shelby's thanks sir for sharing Jerry
Back in the day my dad had a pair of 67 Shelby’s; a GT-500 and a GT-350. The 350 was originally equipped with a supercharger that had been removed before he bought it. The current owner restored it with the supercharger and gauges.
These stories always have a hint of sadness behind them thinking of the various owners may have passed away still dreaming of one day putting the car together or finishing the project.
What an awesome find. Good luck with your build. I've been looking for one of these original blower Shelby cars since around 1980. Someday maybe.
I own a dealer installed Paxton 67 GT350.
I'm pretty sure Dennis Collins bought one of these supercharged Mustangs. His is all intact. Very awesome content guys keep up the great work!
Wow! 14 Grand for that car in 1999! That was a screaming deal even back then! I am a Chevy guy but I think Shelby Mustangs are so cool! I would love to see that car when it's completed. I bet that car is a screamer! Hypo289 with a Paxton Supercharger,4 Speed and a posi ! wow!
It’s very satisfying to be invited too this Christmas tree unboxing , Santa had his elves helping . Memories rush back of my 69 Mach1. Watching this content . The history of mine was unusual , a paint scheme from the Ford Drag Team , foundvthis on photos 5 years ago with only known knowledge it was drag raced , a two color paint scheme . It was a 390 big block car with a very rough history . Sold it in 2001 after several years of fun , all metal replaced that needed the treatment and a few $1000 to bring it to its close beginnings .
Awesome project!
Great video
The ups guy had spectacular sideburns!
Gold, pure Gold!
Good luck with this project. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This one is AMAZING. Period.
This is SO cool. Didn't want it to ever end.
I appreciate that comment, thanks.
I worked for Bowen Scarff Ford ,one sales manager brought his 68 Kr 500 convertible to get it detailed for a show. Beautiful red 4 speed car .
Wow, what a find! Would love to see a follow up video when it's done!
Nice UPS guy.
Outstanding !!! HooAH !!
Great Video 👍💯
Wow what a pleasant surprise to learn about this Shelby supercharged model. I can't wait to see pt2.
We plan to show more
Great content thank you
I appreciate your positive feedback. This edit took 4 weeks and over 200 hours to fit the content into an entertaining inside look at the find and components of this factory supercharged Shelby Mustang of 1967.
I've been around mustang's quite a bit (nowhere near this guys expertise) I didn't even know they'd made this car but then HELL WHO KNOWS WHAT crazy ass ideas SHELBY would come up with, man loved fast cars.... lucky bastard. Lol!!!! God rest his sole. We thank you, that's for sure.
Awsome video
Love this Jerry. See you soon on our special projects.
Yes, we're about to go on a mission.
Keep them coming Jerry! It's never a dull time when the Yellowstone Mustang guys are around.
Yes sir
All I can say is…That’s very cool
Another amazing find.Just an FYI Jerry.I read an article that you had written back in 86-87,The article was BARN FINDS,ARE THEY STILL OUT THERE?I would say that there are a few left to be discovered.Thank you for filming and posting.
As always Jerry is involved with some fantastic Shelby finds.
Thanks, I'll call him. Can you send me an email? jerryheasley@gmail.com
so so good 👍
Thank you 😋
As a Chevy guy, this is pretty wild to see.
i went to my local thrift store and found a very nice navy blue mustang/ shelby hoodie, looked it up, said it was pretty rare... sold by ford... good thick hoodie, great quality
I love the 2 color blue, on both the blue cars, it's definitely 1 of my favorite color cars and I like the mopar blue on graveyard cars too the night sky blue
Agreed best Mustang body style/ version. Probably my all time favourite muscle car.
Love the content Jerry! Hope we get to see this in its completed state! Thanks so much!
I'm sure you will
Great find and an equally great video. Any update on the restoration?
Not a Stang fan, but wow, wow - this is fantastic...!
the original and , one of one, 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500E was made to test high speed tires at Daytona for Ford and Goodyear. It was equipped with a supercharged 427 . It sold at Barret Jackson a while back for over a million.
7:20 i say to my wife, "see! i'm not the only one who vacuums the garage!"
👍👍 Amazing
Thanks 🤗
Those are my dream cars I love them old mustangs I have a s197 rn with the 3v I’d love too own a 67 fastback that’d be insane fr
Someone rubbed the roughest off that carburetor, mine has all the castings crusty lines and would look new if cleaned up, mine been setting with a 428 CJ with aluminum intake and C3AE 6090 heads in a old 1967 F 100, Been setting in my field for years, has the C6 transmission, Drove where she sits, Rats eat all the hoses and wires off this thing. I’ll have to get this old truck on KZhead one day.
send me an email, maybe we can check out the component and video & do story - jerryheasley@gmail.com
Dennis collins has one. Very cool story as well.
I have had the pleasure of seeing one of these in person. Red w/white racing stripes. It's a true shame these didn't catch on, could you imagine the development of forced induction with 40+ years... One of the most badass muscle machines no one knows about. 😎👍 Anyone else see the huge oil leak under the picture of the red one? 😁
Some Paxtons Shelby installed on the cars new, others got a Paxton with the car, but not installed, so in the trunk so to speak.
ford box Inspectors with UPS witness. Now thats some serious collecting
Really would love to see this all done
planning on it
Who is the narrator? I keep hearing a young Ned Jarrett. Perfect for a video like this.
I worked on a 427 super charged engineer car. Gold in color still have the pics
A 1967 Shelby?
Yes
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Bob
Elinize sağlık muhteşem olmuş sağlıklı günler dilerim👍
Ve sana sağlık arkadaşım!
Jesus Christ,just the NOS parts are worth a fortune!🙀 This has got to be worth a million all finished.
Cool car ! They also made factory supercharged gt 500s and those are even rarer.
I'd love to see a video with the car put back together running and driving.
We intend to do one, and it won't be that long, maybe 3-4 months.
And actually, John Atzbach just sold two factory supercharged Shelby Cobras at Mecum back in 2020. One was the legit first supercharged model from Paxton, produced in 1965 (5S425), and the other was produced in 1966 (6S2265).
The red supercharged car in this video was John's car. I photographed this '66 model at Mid-American Shelby & Ford show in Tulsa and wrote a feature on this car for Mustang Monthly.
@@thewriter2549 That's so awesome bud. I have been a car nut since I was a kid and I'm 39 now, but I never knew that Shelby was working with Paxton and some of his earliest models came supercharged from the factory. This opened my eyes some today and I loved the learning from the experience. Thanks Jerry!
Dennis Collins recently bought the only white S/C GT-350, but it was modified into a Gasser drag-car. This guy should convince him to restore it to original ❗
I'd much rather purchase a classic that had all correct parts unassembled like they said a giant model car and put it together myself with no Mysteries to have when I'm driving it later. Oh and I would drive it I wouldn't park it!
Is was there any factory super charged Camaro From the factory from the sixties or seventies
I don't know of a factory supercharged Camaro. Pontiac had a Turbo Trans Am, but that was 1981, if my memory is correct.
A buddy of mine had a Ford Thunderbird. He added AC with a pulley on the end of the crank. It broke two cranks before he realized that the pull from that added pulley was putting undue pressure on the crank. That would worry me about that blower addition.
That guy looks and sounds like Tim Allen!😂
Even though those rear tail lights are 67 and 68 cougar, if you look carefully at the tail light part number exclusive to the Shelby's was the letter "S" in that part number which made it an official Shelby tail light and not the cougar tail light lens
Yes, good point
There are a fair number of Studebakers with this setup, Studebaker owned Paxton at the time.
