Vehicle Description
In the world of collector cars, the Shelby name is synonymous with
extreme performance and big exclusivity. Enthusiasts that missed
the early-buying boat have spent the last few decades running
straight up a value curve that just won't stop. And when Carroll
Shelby passed, the demand for authentic Shelby Mustangs hit an
all-time high. Decked in full GT350 regalia, and featuring a hot
289/4-speed drivetrain, this professionally restored coupe is a
literal embodiment of the storied Shelby spirit. And if you're a
discerning collector who demands the very best in high caliber,
investment grade muscle, it's the classic you've been patiently
waiting for!
TRADITIONAL SHELBY FLAIR
The beneficiary of a professional, ground-up restoration, this
slick '60s pony features a correct layer of Ford Wimbledon White
2-stage that's highlighted by traditional GT350 war paint. Take one
look down the sides of the car's rock-solid body and it becomes
very obvious that great care was taken to ensure every panel is
aligned to better-than-factory standards. Step closer to that
body's mirror-like pigment and check out its straight and
ripple-free surfaces, which are a product of both clean OEM
sheetmetal and high quality replacement parts. Grab the pivotal
pieces of that well-adjusted sheetmetal and experience the kind of
excellent fit that's right at home reflecting a summertime car
show. Then step back to admire one well-done classic that's built
to exacting specifications thanks to a great combination of skilled
workmanship and first-rate finishing techniques.
Shelby's GT line threw fuel on the muscle car fire by not only
adding power, but also introducing some of the coolest and most
aggressive Mustang design elements ever created. At the front of
this coupe, a mesh grille hangs a familiar "SHELBY G.T. 350" emblem
between big Ford driving lamps, clear headlights and a bright
chrome bumper. At the top of that grille, an original Shelby hood
leads the eye to chip-free glass, which is founded in mirrored
stainless trim. Behind that glass, correct Shelby quarter scoops
ride between small stainless mirrors and a correct, SHELBY-branded
decklid. At the sides of that decklid, a straight profile hangs
correct Shelby cove scoops between traditional door handles and
clean GT350 emblems. And at the back of that profile, correct tail
lights and a detailed fuel filler complement a second chrome
bumper, bright reverse lamps and beefy stainless exhaust tips.
ORIGINAL 289
Hoist the hood and you'll find an original, 289 cubic inch small
block V8 that displays a correct casting number below a February
15th, 1967 casting date. Completely rebuilt during the car's
extensive restoration, that storied Cobra Hi-Riser twists stout
10.5 to 1 compression into an impressive 306 horsepower! At the top
of the rugged Windsor block, a correctly decaled air cleaner jams
oxygen into a correct aluminum intake via correct Holley
carburetion. At the sides of that intake, high performance heads
hang attractive Cobra crinkle-finish valve covers between a chrome
Ford breather and stainless Tri-Y headers. The engine's fires are
lit by a traditional points distributor, fresh plug wires, Autolite
plugs and a familiar Autolite coil. That fire is kept at bay by a
correct Extra Cooling Package, which includes fresh FoMoCo hoses,
reproduction tower clamps and a fresh FoMoCo radiator. Pressure for
that radiator comes courtesy of new V-belts, which spin a rebuilt
water pump between a deep-groove Autolite alternator and correct
power steering. And the whole process is kicked into motion by an
Autolite-topped battery, which jolts current through snazzy
Autolite cables. Aesthetically, this Mustang's exceptionally
detailed engine bay appears very close to original, featuring an
even combination of Ford Blue and Satin Black paint under correct
Ford decals. And everything, from the car's fresh brake booster to
its Carter fuel pump, is fully-sorted and virtually spotless.
TOPLOADER OR BUST!
Take one look under this awesome GT350 and you'll find
exceptionally clean, expertly detailed floors that are every bit as
solid as the car's straight exterior panels. Behind the legendary
V8, a 1968 Toploader 4-speed spins a rugged Ford 9-inch. At the
front of that drivetrain, straight control arms hang a beefy sway
bar and correct power steering between fresh rotors and 4-piston
calipers. At the back of that drivetrain, correct leaf springs hang
traditional, power-assisted drums at the edges of modern traction
bars and a stainless fuel tank. At the center of the car, an
aluminized, true-dual exhaust system funnels spent gases through an
H-shaped crossover, dual-chamber Flowmasters and slick stainless
tips. At the edges of the car, power flows through correct E70-15
Goodyear Speedway 350s, which are wrapped around razor-sharp Shelby
10-spokes. And everything, from this Ford's oxide-primered floors
to its correctly marked driveshaft, looks as good as the day it
left the factory.
SPEED AND STYLE
Inside this killer pony car's impressive cockpit, you'll find a
stylish Deluxe Interior that was completely reconstructed during
the car's stellar restoration. The first thing you'll notice is an
old school wood-rimmed and satin-trimmed steering wheel that spins
around a silver GT350 centerpiece. Above that steering wheel, a
great looking dash founds a correct 140 MPH speedometer next to a
correct 8,000 RPM tachometer. In front of that dash, plush vinyl
buckets, which probably haven't broken double digit hours in seat
time, present no evidence of sun damage or rot. Beneath those
seats, fresh black carpet and bright stainless sills center a
simple shifter between a chrome fire extinguisher, thick rubber
mats and authentic Stewart Warner gauges. Above that carpet, a
sturdy black roll bar hangs correct shoulder belts below a
fade-free headliner. At the sides of that roll bar, stylish door
panels feature excellent stainless trim, spotless chrome handles
and fresh silver accents. And behind the passengers, familiar
Shelby vents ride above a folding rear seat and correctly restored
trunk.
There are few classics that have the kind of attitude and presence
of an old school Shelby. And if previous trends are any indication,
these cars will continue to gain value as they become more
exclusive and more collectible. This professionally restored GT350
is a documented, fully-sorted super star that drives and sounds
every bit as good as it looks. If you're a dedicated purist who
desires only the best, here's your chance to own the ultimate
muscle car!
