Title: Acapulco blue / parchment Gt500
Post by: 68krrrr on April 18, 2021, 02:35:28 PM
I love all parchment cars but this is one combination ,I don't think I've ever seen and I thought I saw a thread where no one else had either, found this one while cruiseing the net ,Must be a beautiful combination to see in person.

That is a unique color combination I would also like to see in person.
However, there were no Acapulco Blue '67 GT500's built from the factory with a parchment interior, only black interiors.

That might be #02401...in New Zealand by the license plate.


EDIT; would you happen to recall the web source/link?

Something about the hood doesn't look right. Too much material between the scoop openings. Openings look too small, not correct shape.
Don't think it just because of how the stripes were done

It may be an illusion but it almost looks like 2 scoops melding into one.

Also, the drooping passenger side headlight bucket (typically seen) appears to be on the driver's side too, which is not common.

That is my car.. yes, not perfect but it's driven regularly and it's a fun car.. one day when the time is right I will fix a few of the mistakes of past owners.. The car is actually a factory White car with black interior.. #486.. Those pics on Instagram don't do the car many favours..

It does like nicer in your larger photo. (One of my favorite paint colors)
I'm glad to hear you are out and about driving and enjoying it!!!

That's definitely a black interior in there. The light reflection off of the rear package tray and the glass might have looked like a lighter interior color.
Any rear view photos?


Thanks for setting us all straight on the Shelby #!
