General History:

The designers of the 1969 Shelby GT-350 and GT-500 made the heavier, longer, busier production car look considerably more rakish. They extended the hood, fitted another fiberglass front end with a large grille cavity, used fiberglass front fenders to reduce weight, clipped off the tail, and added a spoiler and sequential turn signals.

The GT-350 received the new 351 Windsor (Ontario) engine rated at 290 bhp, while the 428 CJ engine continued for the GT-500. A total of 3,150 Shelbys were registered as '69s, and convertible versions were scarce: just 194 GT-350s and 335 GT-500 ragtops.
