Shelby Mustang 500, about '70?
 
edit - that's GT500, and more like a '67?

Sorry Tex, you're a bit off. A Shelby cognoscenti could pin that car down to the exact year.

Looks like a '68 GT500 because of how the hood scoops are pushed forward. Don't see the "shelby" lettering on the front cowl though. Maybe it's a made-up car for the movies, dunno.

That would be a very goofy vehicle to own in Europe actually.

In fact it's a GT-350 according to the caption, those used the 302 rather than the 428 Cobra Jet used in the GT-500 but 1968 was the first year for the convertible Shelby 'Stangs except for a half dozen or so in '66 (CS got one of them IIRC).

That's a distinct possibility IMO. There's something odd about that car that I just can't place, maybe it's the missing S-H-E-L-B-Y.

67 convertible made to look like a Shelby...it's piece-meal for the movie
No 67 convertible Shelbys made...but yes in 68..
Although it could be a 68 with various parts thrown on it....That is a 68 hood, but the driving lights are like those on a 67

Yeah, it's kind of confusing, most '67s had their aux lights centered in the grille while the '68s moved them toward the outer edges but they were rectangular, not circular.
