1966 Ford Shelby Mustang GT-350
AdvertisementHere’s your chance to purchase 1 of 1365 Standard GT350 fastbacks that Shelby produced in 1966. This example with the Shelby serial number of 1073 was ordered Red with no stripes and shipped to Paul Miller Ford Inc. of Lexington, KY on 2/28/66. The current owner purchased #1073 approximately 7 yrs ago with the intentions to restore the Shelby to its original livery. The last two pictures show the state the car on that day he bought it. You can see the roll bar that was installed and the old style Auto meter gauges that lead us to believe the car was modified for drag racing. Over the next 7yrs the owner brought it back to its original state. In 2005, the car was painted the original G code Candy Apple Red paint with the stripe delete option. He was careful to not over-paint the car thus leaving the undercarriage exposed with the original Red Oxide Primer revealing the pristine floor pans void of any signs of cancer. In the trunk area there was some small panels that were beyond repair and were replaced. The interior is now period correct which includes the original seat belts and correct gauges installed. Only OEM reproduction parts were used in the restoration. No foreign cheap metals here!
Under the hood a period correct 306 bhp 329 torque, K-code 289 cu in V-8 resides with only 5k miles since rebuild. Its topped off with the correct 715 cfm Holley and Shelby intake manifold in which the air fuel mixture is activated by the solid lifter valve train breathing through the infamous Tri-Y headers. Its backed by the venerable Toploader 4-spd transmission and distributes those ponies via the 389 to 1 ration 9 inch rear end. The steering box was recently rebuilt just 500 miles ago.
If you are looking for a Shelby that doesn’t look like the rest of them and is well sorted and ready to drive to your next SAAC event, vintage race or favorite back roads than look no further and contact us to help you put this legendary pony car in your garage.

About Mustang
The Ford Mustang is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was initially based on the second generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car. Introduced early on April 17, 1964, as a "1964½" model, the 1965 Mustang was the automaker's most successful launch since the Model A. The model is Ford's third oldest nameplate in production and has undergone several transformations to its current fifth generation. The Mustang created the "pony car" class of American automobiles sports car-like coupes with long hoods and short rear decks and gave rise to competitors such as GM's Chevrolet Camaro, AMC's Javelin, and Chrysler's revamped Plymouth Barracuda. It also inspired coupés such as the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri, which were exported to the United States. Ford and several third party companies offered many modified versions of the highly popular Mustang in order to cater to specific portions of the marketplace outside of the mainstream. High performance enthusiasts seek more powerful, sharper handling, sports cars, while collectors and purists seek limited production and alternate or nostalgic styling, such as is commonly found on many commemmorative editions. Still, others were made purely for experimental concepts such as the McLauren M81 (turbo) and SVO, which later influenced production model design. Most variants include both performance upgrades, and unique cosmetic treatments that are typically minimal to maintain the familiar appearance of a stock Mustang. Although most of these Mustang variants were aimed at enthusiasts, a notable exception was the Special Service Package (or SSP), which was designed specifically for law enforcement.
