For the final 1969/1970 Shelby Mustang series, visual changes included a longer fiberglass front end, a unique “hoop” grille, a revised taillight and exhaust treatment, five-spoke wheels and an aggressive hood with five NACA-style air scoops. Inside, a roll bar, inertia-reel harnesses, luxurious features and special trim maintained the performance-oriented, upscale character of the GT 500. While exact numbers vary according to the source, approximately 789 GT 500s were sold for 1970, their last year of availability.

According to the accompanying Deluxe Marti Report, this 1970 GT 500 SportsRoof was completed on March 4, 1969, one day ahead of schedule. The car was shipped to J. D. Ball Ford in Miami, Florida. The car was initially sold on November 6, 1969. It is very well equipped with a 428-4V CJ, 335-hp engine with Ram Air induction and a C-6 Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The Shelby has the standard 3.00:1 gearing. Other original features included the Visibility Group, Goodyear tires, Sport Deck folding rear seat, power steering, power front disc brakes, Tilt-Away steering wheel, AM radio, Selectaire air conditioning, full tinted-glass and Deluxe seat belts with warning light, plus tachometer. The report also confirms the car being originally finished in Candy Apple Red with Black high-back bucket seats.

This beautiful machine has been completely restored and is presented in the manner in which it was first built. Only 165 examples were built with factory air conditioning in 1970. The GT 500 also comes with its original owner’s manual.
