Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to present this superb 1966
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H. Production of GT-350's began in 1965 at
Shelby American in airplane hangers at Los Angeles Airport. To gain
greater recognition and increased sales, in 1966 Shelby
collaborated with The Hertz Corporation to produce 999 Shelby's for
the Hertz Sports Car Rental Club. Theses GT-350H's- along with
other high-performance cars- rented for $19.95 daily. Shelby/Hertz
cars were not produced again until 2006 and 2016. This Shelby
GT-350H (VIN # SFM6s-976) is 1 of only 60 produced in Red. It
originally shipped to Marshall Motor Company in Mayfield Heights,
Ohio in February 1966 for the ultimate delivery to the Hertz
Corporation location in Cleveland Ohio. It was equipped with Hertz
Club Special Wheels, radio and brake booster at a total cost of
$3793.84. With 54,333 presumed original miles and Shelby Registry
documentation (pages 755 and 487), it comprises original, date code
correct and NOS mechanics, engine, interior and body parts. Most
recently, during 2012-2014 it underwent a $30,000 refresh by
renowned Shelby experts to upgrade a significant number of cosmetic
and mechanical items necessary for concours Shelby and Mustang Club
judging. The car retains mostly original sheet metal, has the
original and rare framed fiberglass hood and functional side
scoops. The black interior is all original except the carpeting and
headliner and is in excellent condition. The 289 Hi-Po 306
horsepower engine is original and is coupled with a 3-speed
automatic transmission (95% of Hertz cars were equipped with
automatic transmissions). The detailed engine compartment maintains
the original factory look down to the overspray on the firewall and
messy looking black caulking where the inner and outer front seems
come together. This Shelby has won awards at National and local MCA
events. Authentic, original Hertz cars in this color combo and
condition with proper documentation are becoming increasingly hard
to find. Included is a copy of the Shelby Registry, Shelby Registry
serial number Verification Letter, copies of original Bill of Sale,
Transmittal Letter to Hertz, Shipping Documentation, Radio
Installation Record, prior owner Title, GT-350 and 1966 Ford Owners
manuals. This 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H is for sale in our
