1969 Shelby GT500 - Most Photogenic

Originally just a promotional show car, Loy Luke made sure to restore this Shelby back to fighting (and driving) condition.'69 Shelby GT500

In the fall of 1968, Ford needed to promote the redesigned '69 Shelby, built on the redesigned '69 Mustang as the most distinctive Shelby ever with fiberglass hood, front fenders, and rear deck. An order was placed in October 1968 for a red GT500 fastback, 9F02R480014, and an Acapulco Blue GT500 convertible, 9F03R480018, both of which were eventually delivered to Ford's styling studios for photography after their conversion into Shelbys. After the photo shoots, both outside on a turnstile and inside the Ford photo studio with a female model, the cars were shipped west for auto shows in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, where they were once again photographed for the Shelby sales brochure, postcard, spec sheets, and other sales literature.
