This is a very early 2007 Shelby GT500 convertible and one of only 2,500 that were made.

We received an e-mail message from Skip Novakovich asking if we could help him locate a particular classic car dealer in California. When we asked Skip why he wanted to find him, the story he told horrified us.

As is typical with car release dates, the 1965 Mustang was introduced in September of the previous year. What was not so typical was the fact that Ford had just released a 1965 Mustang version six months prior, in April of the same year. Thus, the earlier pace car version is still known as the 64 1/2, whereas the 1965 version is known as the late model '65 Mustang. It can get a bit confusing, but hopefully we've clarified it for you...

This was the year that Ford stepped it up. Due to increasing ambitions and more competition, Ford introduced many big block engine options for the 1969 Mustang model. This required them, yet again, to increase the overall size of their Mustangs. Many stylistic changes were made to accommodate the new look and feel of the 69 Mustang. These overhauls were widely successful...

1970 Mustangs were considered the standard in the muscle car market. They were well made and carefully planned. So why were they also the lowest selling Mustang of the first generation? Simply because the market had grown too big. Mustang sales were cannibalized by an overabundance of muscle car models produced by nearly every car manufacturer in America. Though muscle cars, in general, were a huge hit, there was not enough overall demand for Ford to succeed in the 1970 market...

The Ford Mustang has become somewhat of a mascot for Ford. Ford has always been proud to offer each year model of the Mustangs and has taken it’s revisions seriously. This was evident in late 1970 when Ford released the 1971 Mustang models. Though 1970 saw a sharp decline in Mustang sales, this did not deter Ford. They were proud of their Mustangs and still are. The 1971 Mustang edition saw a lot of revisions from the previous year, some were received well and a few were not, but the Mustang line was full steam ahead!

Mustang fans were disappointed with the change of events and 1972 Mustangs were not received as well as the previous Mustangs...

With the 1973 oil crisis and subsequent stock market crash, Ford felt the need to go back to the drawing table and produce a new Mustang that would better fit the needs of the current world. The 1974 Mustangs would be known as the 2nd generation and had more in common with the Ford Pinto than the previous Mustang generation. Yes, 1973 was the last year of the Ford muscle car!
