For 1967, he GT 350 carried over the K-Code high performance 289 with a 'COBRA' aluminum hi-rise. The GT 500 was added to the lineup, quipped with the 428 Police Interceptor. These later cars carried over few of the performance modifications of the 1965-66 GT350s, lthough they did feature more cosmetic changes.
In September 1967, roduction was moved to the A.O. Smith Company of Ionia, ichigan, nder Ford control. Shelby American had substantially less involvement after this time.
One 1967 Fastback was built as the "Super Snake" - a GT-500 equipped with a 427 FE engine producing over 500 horsepower. The car was capable of speeds over 150 mph; hitting 170 mph during a demonstration (by Shelby himself) of Goodyear's Thunderbolt tires. No cars other than the prototype were built due to limited interest. The car sold at Mecum's 2013 Indianapolis auction for $1.3 million USD.
