Not only did the GT500 offer more in the way of power, but it also offered more in terms of luxury accoutrements than the slightly less powerful sibling did.
Unlike the GT350, the GT500 was also offered in both coupe and convertible body styles.
The last year of production for the GT500 was in 1969, even though some late 1969 models were sold as 1970s.
That model year also saw the introduction of a restyled Mustang, and the GT500 received all the same changes.
The car's overall footprint increased, but the styling was markedly more aggressive.
