1967 Shelby GT350
Back in 1967, Shelby introduced the GT500, which featured the torquey 428 cubic inch V8, while the GT350 kept the high revving 289 cubic inch high performance V8. Revology’s ’67 GT350 pays homage to the original with a modern four cam 32 valve naturally aspirated 460hp that revs to 7500rpm.

Driveline
The Revology Shelby GT350 is equipped with an carbon fiber driveshaft and Ford 8.8” rear with 1350 yoke, Traction-Loc limited slip differential, and 31 spline axles. Manual transmission cars are equipped with a 3.73 ratio Ford ring and pinion while 10R80 automatic cars feature a 3.31 ratio.
Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
Carbon fiber is the choice for high performance driveline applications due to its high strength and light weight, but it is also more forgiving than steel or aluminum, which serves to reduce driveline harshness, improving the overall level of refinement of the vehicle and making it more enjoyable to drive.
Doors
Revology 1967 and 1968 Mustangs and Shelby GTs feature modern door hinges and door latch mechanisms. While it doesn’t sound very sexy, these modern components make the car much more enjoyable to use. No more squeaks and creaks as you open the doors—they open smoothly and quietly, and close with a solid “thunk”. When closed, the precisely latched doors contribute to the overall rigidity of the body.
Decklid Latch
If you’ve ever owned a 1960s automobile, you are familiar with having to slam the decklid multiple times to get it to stay shut. To address this problem, we’ve equipped all Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs with a modern decklid latch and striker mechanism. The decklid can be opened using the key fob remote, via a release button located on the dash, or via an emergency release.
Polyurethane Bonded Windshield and Backlite Glass
All Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs come standard with polyurethane bonded windshield and backlite (fastback models) glass. Polyurethane bonding is the way all modern automotive glass is secured not only because it seals better than rubber but also because it makes the glass part of the body structure, increasing body rigidity. Increased rigidity reduces noise, vibration, and harshness, but most importantly improves safety, as the stiffer roof is less likely to crush in a roll over and the glass won’t pop out and allow passengers to be ejected in a collision.
100% Steel Unibody
Modern cars all feature unibody, or monocoque, construction because it is stiffer and lighter than body on frame. For a unibody vehicle, the body provides the structure for the powertrain and chassis, which makes it much more important that it is designed and built properly. To ensure the structural rigidity and tight tolerances that allow the packaging of powerful new engines, we reengineered the Mustang unibody with added structural components and additional welds for increased strength. We build all Revology unibodies in-house, using locating fixtures, jigs, and templates to ensure proper dimensional control and sophisticated automated spot-welding equipment that senses the thickness and composition of metal that is being welded and applies the proper amount of current to ensure good quality welds.
Entertainment System
The standard Pioneer 7″touch screen head units feature Bluetooth, reverse camera, voice recognition, Apple Car Play, and Android Auto and can be ordered with or without navigation and SiriusXM. The optional FOCAL Audio package features component speakers, an 720w 8 channel class AB amplifier, and a 10” enclosed subwoofer.
Leather and Alcantara™ Trim Packages
All Revology interiors are cut, sewn, and fitted by hand, including seats, floor mats, dash pad, door panels, quarter trim panels, and sun visors. This old-world craftsmanship takes time but allows freedom to choose materials and colors to ensure not only a flawless appearance but also everyday durability. We use only automotive grade leather and other materials from premium OEMs including Porsche, Mercedes, and Ferrari.

Hi, I'm Tom Scarpello of Revology Cars, and this is car number 80, a 1967 Shelby GT350 in Rapid Red with Raven Black Lemans stripes and Black Porsche Nappa leather interior.
So, Rapid Red, of course, is not an original Mustang color. It's a late model color. This is a 2020 Mustang Rapid Red. It just looks great on a ‘67. I think there's just that common DNA that Mustang has had ever since the 60s, where modern color looks great on an original body. Client opted for painted wheels and painted calipers. So, the painted calipers in red give a little bit of contrast. And anyway, it's just a really nice execution. I really like the color choices on this one.
So, one of the questions that I get frequently is: GT350 or GT500? So, visually, the cars are identical, except for the badging. The difference is under the hood, of course. So, the 350 uses the current model Mustang GT 460 horsepower 5.0 liter Ti-VCT Coyote V8 engine. This is a naturally aspirated engine. It revs to 7500 rpm. I mean, it's a fantastic engine. It's got great drivability, great performance. Just really fun to drive.
Then the GT500, of course, uses the supercharged version of that Coyote engine. It puts out 710 horsepower. The characteristics of the two engines are quite a bit different. The way that the car drives is quite a bit different. They both have their own place in the lineup, as far as I'm concerned. There's a lot to be said for rowing through the gears of a high revving, naturally aspirated engine. But then there's also a lot to be said for just the massive torque of a supercharged engine. So, they both deliver kind of a different experience. This one's backed by a six-speed manual transmission. So, this is a really engaging driving experience.
So, let's go! We are driving the car number 80, 1967 Shelby GT350. It's a heavy duty transmission, but it's not rough and difficult to shift. It's got a really nice action. There isn't a linkage. The shifter is actually connected to the transmission, and so it's really precise. We've done a lot of work to get the clutch dialed in, so we have a pretty light pedal effort. Remarkably light for such a powerful car.
We equipped the naturally aspirated cars with a single disc clutch. The engagement, the take-up is really nice. This engine revs. Feels great to rev it. So, GT350 with a manual is great. It's nice. So, you probably heard about Johnson and Johnson having to scrap 15 million doses of COVID vaccine because their supplier mixed the wrong ingredients. That is really a terrible, terrible, massive failure, but unfortunately seems to be something common in American manufacturing these days. In some recent videos, I've talked about our decision to bring our paint in house and to bring the unibody production in house to have more control over our process.
But obviously we still buy a lot of things through outside suppliers. There's certain things that aren't feasible for us to make ourselves. Our rear axle assemblies, they come in preassembled, those are built to our specification. There's a lot of things that we have built to our spec, and we will find supplier used the wrong part in a sub assembly. Just supplier welded something off location, and obviously that part has to go back, has to get reworked. Just would be a lot better for everyone if we just do things right the first time.
And so, to do that, really what we've been working on and continue to work on is improving the amount and the detail in all of our documentation for every single operation, whether that's an operation that's done in house or an operation that's done at the supplier's facility. If you don't have really good, well documented work instructions, it's not clear, then problems can happen.
Really, that's been our focus, and we really only want to work with suppliers that have that same level of focus and dedication and commitment to excellence and not having defects. I don't know, this sort of attitude, that shit happens. It's just a loser attitude. Shit does not have to happen. I’m sorry, I just had to do that.
