Here’s What Happened To Jim Morrison’s 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 – SlashGear

Instead of the plain old GT350 version, Holzman got his lead singer the beefier GT500 cloaked in a Nightmist Blue exterior paint job with the much scarcer Parchment White interior scheme. A couple of other key features that made Morrison’s car stand out were that it didn’t have the familiar body length racing stripe seen on most Shelby GTs, sported 10-spoke rims, and had the two big circular fog lights on the grill that later models didn’t (via Street Muscle Magazine).

Under the hood, The Blue Lady (named after a character from one of Morrison’s screenplays) packed a 428 Police Interceptor V8 with a pair of quad Holley carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Ford only built 2,050 of these (via Motor Biscuit). It kicked out 355hp, went from zero to sixty in six and a half seconds, and crossed the quarter mile in 15 seconds, doing 95 miles per hour. She wasn’t screaming fast by today’s standards but had it where it counted, and Morrison frequently pushed her well beyond her limits.

The vehicle makes an appearance in a hybrid short film and trailer for a longer piece Morrison was working on called “HWY: An American Pastoral,” about a psychopathic hitchhiker (played by Morrison) who gets picked up in the desert, kills the good Samaritan driver, and continues to Los Angeles in the stolen Shelby.
