Vehicle Description
1966 Shelby GT350H For Sale- Believed To Be 1 Of 18 White With
Lemans Blue Stripes LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966
Shelby GT350H. The "Rent-a-Racer" program provided by Shelby and
Hertz was a promotional idea to get the Shelby Mustang in the hands
of car enthusiasts to really show off the cars potential. It
worked, almost too well!! The stories are still rampant about cars
being rented on Friday, having their engines used in personal race
cars, the Shelby's themselves having full roll cages installed for
the weekend for racing, and people replacing the Hi-Po Shelby
engine for a generic Ford 289 4 barrel and returning it to Hertz!!!
The story of this particular 1966 Shelby GT350H begins when it
arrived at Hi-Performance Motors in El Segundo, California in
February of 1966 to dealer prep before heading off to a Hertz
agency, in Los Angeles, California. This early production Hertz car
was delivered with all the options one would expect such as radio,
chrome Magnum wheels and factory Shelby dash tachometer. It is
thought to be one of the very few rare factory delivered in
Wimbledon White with Lemans Blue stripes. As listed in the Shelby
registry and with further research together with SAAC, it is
believed that 18 Hertz cars came equipped with the Lemans Blue
stripes and this car has all the indications of being one of those
cars. This GT350 has lived its life on the west coast and is a nice
original example having never been fully restored. The numbers
matching Hi-Po 289/306 HP is backed by a C4 automatic transmission
which performs beautifully. The Magnum 500 wheels are wrapped in
Goodyear radial tires. It is fully documented with SAAC paperwork
that validates this car as a genuine 1966 Shelby GT350H. This
GT350H is believed to be one of the very few Wimbledon White with
Lemans Blue Stripes, which makes it stand out from the other 999
Hertz rentals in the world. It is a rare and unique chance to own
one of the most desirable color combinations that was offered on
the 1966 Shelby GT350H. Additional Details: 1966 FORD MUSTANG
