Originally posted by Wonderbread 1969 was to be the last year that the Shelby was built. A few of the '69's were held over and retitled as 1970 units, but in all actuality, this was the last year of this fine breed. The engine lineup was changed to include an optional (the 302 was still standard) 351-4V Ram Air engine for the GT350 and only the Ram Air 428 for the GT500's. 1969 was the year of the "scoops". The Shelbys had five scoops on the NASA style hood, one at the front of each fender, and one on each quarter panel. The Lucas driving lights were now mounted below the front bumper, rather than in the grille. The dual exhaust system now exits through a massive aluminum outlet mounted in the center of the rear valance panel. The license plate was moved up to the center of the rear body panel and hinged to allow access to the fuel filler cap. The interior continued to be the deluxe Mustang trim as in previous years. There were a total of 3,150 '69 and '70 Shelbys produced, 1,085 were GT350 Fastbacks, 194 were GT350 Convertibles, 1,536 were GT500 Fastbacks, and 335 were GT500 Convertibles.

it did fairly well with track racing enthusiasts, while the 500 went to collectors and drag revelers, bone stock, not THAT quick, quick for its time, but not nearly liek the Hemi Dart.... now that, with only about 70-80 ever made, was (and still is) a car to behold...
