1967 Shelby GT500 427 4-Speed
Genuine 1967 Shelby GT500 - Documented Holman-Moody History - Ex-Wood Brothers Racing 427 Side Oiler
The Car
This is not a tribute or a recreation. This is a genuine, documented 1967 Shelby GT500, Shelby serial number 67402F4A00921, verified by both a Marti Report and the Shelby American Automobile Club Registry. It is one of only 2,048 GT500s built for 1967, and one of just 1,376 fitted with the original 4-speed manual transmission. The car was built at Ford's San Jose plant, finished in Wimbledon White over black, and shipped new to East Tennessee Motor Co in Knoxville.
What makes this particular car remarkable is what happened to it decades later, and it involves two of the biggest names in American racing history.
The Holman-Moody Connection
Longtime owner John Young of Clover, South Carolina, blew up the original 428 engine and brought the car to Holman-Moody in Charlotte. Holman-Moody was not just any repair shop. Founded by John Holman and Ralph Moody, the outfit was Ford's official factory race team and race car builder through the 1950s and 60s, and remains the most successful team in motorsports history. Holman-Moody built the GT40 Mark IIs that won Le Mans, prepared the NASCAR machines driven by legends like David Pearson, Cale Yarborough and Fred Lorenzen, and won back to back NASCAR championships in 1968 and 1969. Their unofficial motto, "Competition Proven," was not marketing talk. It was a statement of fact.
According to the Shelby American Automobile Club's own registry documentation, Holman-Moody responded to Young's request by installing an ex-Wood Brothers Racing 427 side oiler NASCAR engine, along with a full rebuild of the transmission, steering and brakes. Wood Brothers Racing is the oldest continuously operating team in NASCAR, founded in 1950 in Stuart, Virginia, and still competing at the top level of the sport today. They ran Ford products for their entire history, revolutionized the modern pit stop, and fielded legends like David Pearson, A.J. Foyt and Dan Gurney behind the wheel. An engine with genuine Wood Brothers Racing origins is not a period-correct reproduction part. It is a surviving piece of an actual championship-level NASCAR operation.
Young paid for the work but passed away before he could bring the car home. His widow, Martha Young, turned to Lee Holman himself, son of Holman-Moody founder John Holman, to handle the sale. The car actually remained at the Holman-Moody shop for years afterward, where the engine was rebuilt a second time by Jimmy Tucker in 2008 as part of a mechanical restoration project, before finally being purchased in 2014 by the ownership group that brought it to us.
Few cars in the world can claim a factory race shop pedigree this direct. This GT500 was not restored to look like it has Holman-Moody history. It has Holman-Moody history, documented in writing by the people who lived it.
The Details
Finished in Wimbledon White with LeMans stripes and a black interior, the car wears its history honestly. It carries functional brake scoops, and while some details have been updated over the decades, including its current 15 inch Magstar wheels and louvered hood, the documentation trail from build sheet to Marti Report to SAAC registry to Holman-Moody's own record is as complete as you will find on any Shelby of this era.
The car has been fully inspected by our team, with any necessary work completed before it reached the showroom.
Condition
This car has been driven and used exactly the way a Shelby with a Holman-Moody race engine deserves to be used. It wears its decades of history honestly rather than hiding behind an over-restoration.
Get behind the wheel and the pedigree is obvious within the first few hundred feet. The 427 side oiler is a genuinely high-output powerplant, and it makes that clear the moment you get into the throttle. This is not a numbers-on-paper engine bay. It pulls hard, it sounds the part, and it delivers the kind of thrust that reminds you exactly where it came from. The 4-speed manual shifts smoothly through the gears, with none of the notchiness or reluctance that often creeps into cars this age. Underneath, the car presents as solid and well cared for, with no structural concerns turned up during our inspection.
Put simply, this is a great, solid driver. It is not a trailer queen and it does not want to be one. This is a car built to be driven hard, and decades later it still delivers exactly that experience.
You can enjoy it exactly as it sits, backed by one of the most thoroughly documented ownership and mechanical histories available for a 1967 GT500, or our team can bring it up to concours condition for the show circuit. Either way, the story underneath does not need embellishing.
