1967 Shelby GT500 | "Billy Hawk" Legendary Racer got Carroll Shelby's Blessing to race this Mustang 

Awesome car l love the 67 and 68 sharpest mustangs ever built Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars l love it great video as always keep on doing the great work you do Evan

Great informative video. . Bill is in my age group so hats off to this Vietnam veteran who can still see the sky each time he launches that amazing Shelby Mustang. Without a doubt. You have the best Ford performance channel on U-Tube putting us in the passenger seat and under the hood of these classic and current Ford Hotrods. Great job Evan.

He started drag racing the year after I was born. What a legend. What a car. So impressive. Will we get the spark plug storey??? Thanks Evan. Love the channel. I’m a die hard Ford fan, and so enjoy your content.

Love it. Bill reminds me so much of my Dad. If he was still around I would share your videos with him. But he would rather adjust rocker arms, cursed at headers, and can tell you a thing or two about spark plugs. Thanks Evan for posting. This video brings back a lot of memories racing with my Dad. Keep the content going. ❤

I wanted to learn why this 428 non CJ motor has solid not hydraulic lifters and 1 Holley instead of 2x4 bbls that came on GT 500’s for ‘67??

EVAN YOU KEEP BRINGING BACK MEMORIES OF YORK US 30 DRAGSTRIP, FE MOTORS, 285, 385 SERIES ENGINES AND EVERYTHING ELSE! YOU'RE DOING GREAT EVAN!

I've watched Bill Hawk race at Buds Creek (MIR) for 30 years at Ford events and hope to see you and him at the track tomorrow. I have enjoyed all the recent content from Maple Grove, Thanks Evan.

Thanks Evan! Amazing car and an amazing man! A true National treasure. Thanks so much for sharing this gem with us! I love how Billy retro- fitted the instrument bezel with the gauges over the old bezel. Way cool. Love and blessings to all from Motown.

That thing sure launches clean. I wonder if Billy would donate the used oil for a line of flavored coffees.

Evan, thanks for featuring this Shelby, I ran a 68 KR from 1970 - 77 here in San Diego

Is he running a C-6 trans....???

Dove rockers?

I love that Carroll rides along for every pass. At least his signature does. What a great car.

This is inspiring for sure 👍. He's got his FE running 🏃‍♂️ , really well . Thanks Evan 😊

What a national treasure!

Great car Billy! Thank you for your service.

Happy Veteran's Day Mr. Hawk, keep kickin' ass.

WHY DO HIS WHEELS COME OFF THE GROUND WHEN HE FLOORS IT? IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS CAR IS IS IT JUST THE WAY HE DRIVES? AWSOME CAR!

Thank You Evan. Tear in my eye. God I love this stuff!

Here I am again, clicking like before the video ever starts. I just know darn well we are going to have some killer Ford and I'm liking it. Used to goto Maple Grove quite a bit. Even way back some 30 plus years ago. Used to get passes through a local shop in Shrewsbury MA and Joe Amato. Got those till some idiots with us drank to darn much and you know when you drink more than the old racers then you have issues. One idiot was found passed out in the bath tub. Problem was it was someone else room and we didn't know them. Crazy thing is the idiots whom the room belonged to, was stealing sponsor t-shrits and hoodies. Oh what a nightmare the whole thing was and it ruined a great weekend. Well I guess it was better than when I blew my ankle out at Englishtown, heck that I'm still dealing with 23 years later. What a nightmare come to think of it, not like I don't ever not think of it

SHOUT OUT TO "TEX MILLER" AND HIS 351C 72 MUSTANG AND TORINOS!

First On Race Day. Simple as that.

Great work Evan.

That's a beautiful mustang.great video REVan

Je le savais que l année 67 68 ford a tout casser avec chelby c est surtout c est boite qui m interresse 🙏😑🤲🇫🇷👉☝️

I remember him running at Old Dominion Speedway in the 1970s.

So best run??

Les années chelby du début sont aussi intéressante que les gordini du sorcier ca c était de l amour AUTO

I crawled and drooled all over that car at Houston way back in the mid 90’s!

67 Fairlane 2door hardtop 428 top loader no one would drag race me

What a LEGEND ! I don't think I've ever seen such well controled/smooth wheelies !!

Jim Morrisons lost car

Hey Billie, I love the car, As one retired Air Force vet to another, "Thank you for your service.. I'm a crew guy on Division 4, 5 time Top Sportsmans Champion Keith Raftery 68 Camaro.

That’s a gorgeous car. The stance on those old drag cars is funny compared to these days.

Les turbo sont juste une invention genial qui permet de filait vite et bien surtout les charger turbo 👍

That's awesome Evan!

F#%kin hey nice car, good job on the video

Nasty

One of the greatest! Love that Mustang 🐎!!!

Awesome! Love the NHRA stock eliminator rules allowances!

I can’t seem to find that complete vin in the Shelby registry. Can anyone else?

I try not to miss any of your videos. Too much good stuff. I’m afraid I’ll miss something.

Sooo sexy cars yeee

Old school. Nice

Velde Ford. I remember back in the mid 70's Jeff Velde was modifying two four barrel Tunnel Wedge intakes by cutting them apart and using a single plenum, converting them into a single 4 barrel intake. It was good for 2 tenths in the quarter mile over what was currently available for the 428 Cobra Jet. He was going to start casting a version of that intake, but I don't ever remember seeing it. The Gene Turnage SS/F car was the first one to use that intake, then I think that Velde bought the car off of him and campaigned it himself.

00187 was reportedly (current SAAC registry) in Norway … is this that car?

Crazy how you don't have more subs. The stock appearing channel has way more yet they really don't do half of what real racers do. Kudos to you, Evan! BTW, ever hear of a bowtie guy named Boyd Denton? He's a second gen. racer and a true grassroots racer that you amy want to check out. I grew up with him and his dad, he ran a '30s Chevy called the Weasel and was legendary in the East.

Right when you think YOUR a Ford guy, along comes Billy. Love everything about this guy. A true no nonsense drag racer keeping the playing field level for 60 years. Yea, 60 years. These guys are becoming rare Revan. An absolute FE guru. When I see guys like Billy and Paquet I can't stop smiling. Great work Billy and you too Revan. Nice to see these real factory race cars still whipping ass at age 60 !!

That Shelby fender tag looks brand new like it was made yesterday. Also the stamped lettering on it is very crisp like I have never seen before on alot of other cars.

Great guy , fantastic car. Spent some time with him at MRI years ago . Super proud guy.

I remember my high school buddy, taking his VERY RICH uncle's '69 GT-500 KR convertible out for a test drive with the top down...it was great! I don't think his uncle ever knew, nor would he have approved. It was gold with a white interior, as I remember. NEVER seen the car, since....a 428-CJ Automatic C-6 car.

Historic car and racer. Just to see a beautiful GT500 like this doing some fast passes is amazing. Great pictures with Mr. Shelby and Bob Glidden. Ford history! Just one question, has a Boss 429 Mustang ever competed in Stock Eliminator?

Another great car, thanks Evan. And thank you Mr. Hawk for your service to our country and sharing your car with us!

Great guy and an amazing car! It amazes me how he can start and stop the car so many times so easily.

I was sold at the age of 11 in 5th grade, 1970. My Uncle stop next to me on way home from school said "GET IN Robbie". I did and side-stepped the clutch and pounded the gears for 1000 feet , till he slowed then swung into his driveway. I got out said thanks uncle Matt. Half way across his lawn as I walked home I vowed to get a Black Ford with that motor in it. Took me 10 years I got it! In a 67 Fairlane 500. Drag raced it three years, Ran 12 0's, deadly consistent street engine, won 5 of 6 first 6 races in it making ppl known I Mean business. Had a 35% win/loss record with it. Nobody even seen me out there, I came from nowhere suddenly and made waves" as said. Know this engine well. Only issue ever as a 75cent rocker arm bolt broke, else bullet proof engines!

I’m gonna guess 560 rear gear especially with that wheelie

That is a badass mustang GT500 and it's worth big bucks specially with all that Carol signing the dash and all the pictures

Nothing beats the Factory super Stock.

Where's the spark plug trick ? Other than that, a good video.

Seems like a really cool guy. The type of guy who can teach you a hell of lot.

Cool car

i love it..a shelby doing what it was built to do.not sit in a showroom.

Carroll Shelby may be the greatest name in racing.

That Mustang just loves to pull wheelies!

What is he running a 427 or a 428?

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous, lol!!

Really love these old school Ford loyalists, like the Wood's Brothers, Mickey Thompson (deceased), and glad they are still turning wrenches. Not old fashioned, just old school technology that needs to be preserved and promoted, and can still hold it's own against the newer vehicles. The Shelby pony cars up to 1970 were the coolest of the cool. Far better looking cars than any of the Mustangs that came later. You should have miked Mr. Hawk when he was working on those valves. Great video still, and hope to see more like this.

Another great video... Awesome car and great driver.

Awesome car Great history

thank you for your service

Legend

Great interview Evan!

GT 500 Mustang big block?

The oval on the perfect place of the oil pan!! 💙

You gonna' make this "super witty" comment every video now?

Worst thing about these sportsman racers. The god damn contingency stickers all over what could be a good looking car. Blah!

67 Shelby would be a 427.

Too bad it has all those ugly stickers all over it

Im a chevy man to the core. However, chevy wasnt on the map back then it was ford, and Chrysler sorry i just puked in my mouth saying that but is was smokey yunick, bill Jenkins that got chevy headed the right way ah bullshit guys those old ford torinos were the only cars even close to the super bird the 29 boss was a modern marvel for its day even if the timing chain was 5.5 feet long

Dam dude your docs always deliver , some of the best vids on the tube and they bring ya back !! Nice work as usual 👍👍

-paper car. Cars like these really changed Stock Eliminator for the worse. Shelby put documentation to a lot of cars that were never really made. This car should have had to race in Top-Stock because of the engine chassis combo. This guy did not get respect from his fellow racers because of the BS behind this car.

Memories! Thanx!
