    On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago IL on 10-19-20.
    We're looking at a 1970 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 in Graber Blue Paint. The car comes with the factory 428 CI “Cobra Jet” V8 engine.
    The car's Owner is Dennis Roxworthy. Dennis’s had this car since 2013. He shares he’s a Ford Mustang Guy and always wanted a Shelby. His search took him to Volo Auto Museum and that is where he found this car. This car has been restored and looks “showroom” new.
    ENJOY!

    Great car ! I loved the comment Dennis made, "These were rated at 330 horse with around 400 at the rear wheels. They neutered the numbers because of the insurance rates". So true.

      It's funny how on the brochure they rated the (Estimated) HP at 3200 RPM. Who stops the dyno run at 3200 with a Big block Ford, and makes that the official number? I doubt many insurance companies fell for that one.

    Beautiful example of Shelby awesomeness. While I am more partial to the early years of Shelbys, there is no doubt that this 70 is absolutely gorgeous. Great color too. Every one of Dennis' cars you have shared are beautiful. You are one lucky guy, Lou. Not many get to drive a Shelby. Thank you for sharing.

    What a sweet Shelby and how cool that you got to drive it! Those were a tough car to sell back then. The 70's were leftover 69's with new vin numbers the hood stripes and chin spoilers.

I remember being in my friends dad's Shelby, and being in the rear seat holding onto the roll bar , as a kid as he rocketed down the road, a most memorable experience for me!!

    Not many know, but there were so many unsold '69 Shelbys that Ford re-badged the '69 left-overs as a '70 (with the FBI's approval)... changed the serial numbers, added the chin spoiler, black stripes on the hood... and Dennis recognized this as he commented when showing the data plate on the door that the new sticker had been added and the holes for the '69 data plate were still there. The '69 '70 Shelby has always been my favorite car in the world and this one is beautiful! Thanks for the vid!

    Nice ‘69 Shelby. The tail lights are identical as the mechanical sequential used in the ‘65 Thunderbird. I remember in the T-Bird they slowly lit one by one from center to side, until all three lamps remained lit for about one second, then went dark simultaneously, repeating the cycle until turned off.

    This 70 Shelby Mustang is the most beautiful Mustang ever produced. Second IMO is the 69 Mach 1 with the full ribbed rocker panels, before Larry Shinoda started stripping away all that beautiful trim from 70 on. Lou, fellow Shelby fans, I've sent emails to Revology® Cars, advising them that they need to offer a reproduction of the 69 / 70 Shelby Mustang. I hope others will send Revology similar emails. We need to get these 69 / 70 Shelby Mustangs reproduced. One big positive about Revology, is that they would probably enhance the performance on their reproductions. I.e. the reproductions would be faster and maybe lighter than the originals.

    Goodday Lou,
    Hope you & your family are all well.
    Just been under the pump here in Melbourne, everything has opened up & doing 15 hour days of work.
    Finally get to sit down & watch your video's.
    Great Shelby Mustang in the Grabber Blue. Considering how much Shelby's are fetching atm, yeah you would seldom drive one.
    In my opinion after the movie
    " Ford vs Ferrari " came out all of a sudden everything at the auctions with any heritage to Shelby went up
    25% overnight especially at Mecum.
    Dennis is a great caretaker of this magnificent Shelby. Love those Thunderbird taillights in sequential.
    Just back tracking on a few video's atm.
    Stay warm, stay safe.
