Vehicle Description
For The Collector that wants the best we are offering a superb
early 1965 Shelby GT350. This car is one of the very first cars
hand built at Shelby American 's Venice plant prior to the
production assembly line later cars. It features all the original
Venice features. This car was restored to Shelby American
Automobile Club and MCA 's highest judging standards with no
expense spared to acquire and use assembly line parts in the
restoration. The 3-year restoration was a grey combination of an
owner getting involved with the restoration shop and helping to
source the near impossible to find restoration parts to achieve
what we have in the finished product. This is both a cosmetic and
mechanical restoration with everything restored to stock 65
