It is as much a genuine GT500 as my S Class.
The original Shelby GT500 had a 428 Cobra Jet engine.
Thats 428 cubic inches (7.75 litres)
This one has a 351 (5.5 litres)
It doesn't have any of the original running gear, 9inch nodular rear axle, 4 speed toploader gearbox etc. etc.
Its just a '67 Mustang made to look like the one in the film Gone in 60 seconds.
And by the way that film was a remake of the original 1974 film of the same name which featured a 1970 Boss 429 Mustang as Eleanor.
