1967 Shelby GT500 | Car 63
Transcript +
Hi, I'm Tom Scarpello of Revology Cars, and this is car# 63 - a 1967 Shelby GT500 in Acapulco Blue metallic with Wimbledon White stripes. So, for 1967, Shelby went more luxury. Shelby realized that they were building the top-of-the-line Mustang and people really wanted luxury. So, they made all of the Shelbys in 1967 a lot more luxurious, a lot more options. For example, the interior featured a deluxe interior. They also introduced some other colors in ‘65 and ‘66 on the interior. The only color you could get was black, black vinyl, but for ‘67, they also offered parchment. This is the first Revology ‘67 Shelby that we've done with the parchment interior.
Now, of course, our parchment is a bit different than the vinyl parchment that was used by Shelby back in 1967. Ours features Mercedes leather, and this interior is covered completely in Mercedes leather. It’s parchment colored with the exception of the dash. We do the dash in a darker color to minimize reflection off the windshield, and then we have a matching carpet. The dash and carpet match, and it makes for a really nice two-tone effect, and it's just a really neat match with the Acapulco Blue exterior.
We've had clients who purchased the Revology Mustang, and they liked it a lot, and they would come back to us and say,
"Hey, I really like that ‘71 Barracuda. I want you to make me a ‘71 Barracuda and do it the Revology way."
And we always say,
"No, not that we don't like those cars. We wouldn't want to do those cars."
The truth is it's just so much development work that goes into making a car like this consistently and at a price that is not astronomical. It's not a mass-produced automobile. So, there are a lot of costs, but to get everything to work right, the amount of time and effort and expense is astronomical.
So, it's not that simple that you could just do this version of this car or this version of that car. At Revology, we don't have some genius that does everything and builds a whole car, it’s sort of imaginary to think that anybody has the proficiency to be an expert in every single field that's required to build a car to this level.
At Revology, people play their positions: fabricators fabricate, painters paint, upholsterers upholster, electricians electrify, everybody plays their position. My role is simply putting all these talented people together in the same place and pointing them in the same direction. But the outcome, when it's executed properly, is like an orchestra. When everyone plays their part perfectly, it makes a beautiful sound.
