In the world of car enthusiasts, the Shelby GT500 was a coveted prize for those with big pockets. Known for his idiosyncratic demeanor and unconventional lifestyle, James Douglas Morrison was the perfect fit for Shelby's rebellious spirit.
When his hit single "Light My Fire" soared to No. 1 on the charts in June 1967, Jim celebrated the occasion in style by ordering his own custom-built Shelby Mustang GT500 fastback. The high-performance mustang was the perfect fit for the rock star look, and it soon became an integral part of his wild and extravagant lifestyle.
