While it may be impossible to get your hands on the one official 1967 GT500 convertible or the one 1968 GT500KR convertible ever made, thankfully, we have this stunning 1967 Ford Mustang GT500CR Convertible Restomod available for you today. No, the CR is not a typo. While the KR stands for King of the Road, this CR designation comes from its Classic Recreations conversion. Fully repainted in this stunning red with white racing stripes motif, this Tribute sports an Eleanor-inspired front clip, scooped and pinned hood, centrally-mounted grille lights, quarter panel scoops, ducktail-style rear spoiler, GT500CR rocker panel stripes, and an integrated side-exit exhaust. In totality, this fantastic Ford would make even Carroll Shelby nod and smile in approval.
Inside, we find a clean and custom black leather interior. A large center console separates a pair of plush, supportive bucket seats, while a power-assisted, wood-rimmed steering wheel boasts a Cobra emblem center cap. A five-pod Classic Instruments gauge cluster features a 10,000-rpm tachometer and a 200-mph speedometer. At the same time, a pair of auxiliary gauges keeps tabs on oil pressure and voltage from the center stack. A JVC AM/FM/AUX head unit offers Bluetooth connectivity and powers a trunk-mounted amp and subwoofers, as well as a myriad of cabin speakers.
Under that aggressive hood, we find an even more aggressive motor. A supercharged 427 cubic-inch overhead valve crate V-8 engine. Thanks to, an F1-D Procharger and intercooler supplying 19 pounds of boost, this monster motor sends spent gases out through a set of long-tube headers and dual exhaust capped off with a set of MagnaFlow mufflers to produce enough power to make even the most die-hard Shelby fan giggle. Power is routed through a tried-and-true Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission before heading out to the Fab 3.30-geared, nine-inch rear end.
