Back when this car was new, the combined ingredients of Shelby, Mustang and V8 was a heady mix. It still is.
In a review on this series we reveal: “The May 1965 edition of Road & Track contains a rave review of the GT350. Previously lukewarm at best about Mustangs with the single exception of the 289 with the ‘handling package’, the tester called it ‘a brute of a car’. In another feature, we find: ‘The racing Shelby Mustang was an instant winner. The street version was noisy, hot, rough riding, heavy steering, intractable in traffic and absolutely fantastic.’
“If the Mustang was the original pony car, here was the stallion. Shelby didn’t just modify the Mustang, he transformed it.”
This car comes with a premium 351 V8 engine and four-speed manual driveline.
The seller indicates it has good paperwork and history.
Located in Parkes, NSW, it’s on the market for $225,000.
