For sale here at Nate’s Classic Cars is an ultra desirable 1970 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertibile 4 speed. The 1970 Shelby is one of the most interesting automobiles of its time due to it being the only car produced that was ever allowed to be changed from one year to the next (1969 to 1970). The 1970 Shelby was also the only Ford car ever to go into three different assembly plants (Ford Dearborn, A.O. Smith Plant, and Kar Kraft Plant). After leaving Ford Dearborn the 1969 Shelby went to A.O. Smith where they assembled all the fiberglass used on the Shelbys including: fenders, headlight buckets, valance, end caps, and deck lid. Following the A.O. Smith Plant the left over 1969 Shelbys then headed to Kar Kraft where they received the 1970 conversions: Twin Black Hood Stripes, Unique Front Spoiler, Distributors - GT 500 4 Speed Had Dual Point, Automatic Choke Carburetor to a Manual, Manual Choke Cable Added, Tire and Choke Decal, Dash Serial Number Tag, Door Serial Number Tag to Decal, All Glove Box Papers, and Window Sticker and Invoices.
