(Photo note - the first few photos of this Shelby GT350 are from our showroom, shot Oct 14th.
Other pics are from documentation a while back, just FYI.) True Shelby GT350!
This is NOT some ‘tribute’ Shelby made up out of some old Mustang!
This is the 3rd from LAST 1966 built in the hangar at LAX (before the unobtainable convertibles.) What’s more this Shelby has incredible documentation.
It’s listed in the Shelby America Directory 1966 Edition.
We have the original Shelby window sticker & equipment list, plus a full accounting of owners back to the fellow who bought it new in Lompoc, CA via classic Cali ‘Pink Slips’.
In fact, the car lived in SoCal its whole life before joining a Colorado collection eight years ago.
The car is listed in the Shelby American Register and was autographed by Carroll years ago.
Records indicate it still has its original 289 engine, but the Borg-Warner 4-speed transmission has been replaced with a Tremec 5-speed for more relaxed cruising. (The original transmission is crated and comes with the car).
Another change was from the original less-popular Sapphire Blue to the also-available red with white stripes.
An exhaustive restoration was carried out by the second owner in the early ‘90s and the car has only covered 3000 miles since.
It has the owner’s books and a file of records dating all the way back to 1966.
