classic car 1966 FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK WHICH HAS BEEN BUILT INTO A
SHELBY GT350 TRIBUTE BY ONE OF ITS PRIOR OWNERS. THE CAR IS
FINISHED IN THE EVER-ICONIC COLOR COMBINATION OF WIMBLEDON WHITE
AND GUARDSMAN BLUE OVER THE STRIPES AND GT350 ROCKER STRIPES! RIGHT
ABOVE THOSE ROCKER STRIPES YOU WILL SEE THE REVERED SHELBY SIDE
SCOOPS WHICH HAVE BEEN MOLDED RIGHT INTO THE BODY OF THE CAR FOR A
MORE SLEEK FINISH THAN FACTORY ON A 66 GT350 AND THE ICONIC MUSTANG
QUARTER VENTS SLATS HAVE BEEN RETAINED ON THIS CAR AS OPPOSED TO
THE SHELBY PLEXIGLASS WINDOWS. THE CAR RIDES ON MUSTANG DELUXE
STYLED STEEL WHEELS WHICH ARE WRAPPED IN BF GOODRICH RUBBER WITH
WHITE LETTERS. FINALLY, THE CAR FEATURES A BULLITT STYLE SIDE VIEW
MIRROR REMINISCENT OF THE 1966 GT350S AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST,
FEATURES A SHELBY STYLE HOOD WITH INTEGRATED SCOOP. POWER FOR THIS
SHELBY TRIBUTE COMES-THROUGH A 289 V8 WHICH IS ADORNED WITH CS
SHELBY ALLOY FINNED VALVE COVERSAND IS FED THROUGH A DUAL QUAD
CARTER AFT CARBURETORS WHICH SEND FUEL AND AIR DOWN ANALUMINUM
OFFENHAUSER INTAKE MANIFOLD! THE ENGINE BREATHS OUT A SET OF
HEADERS AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS NICE AND TIDY WITH NO LEAKS
OR DRIPS DETECTED WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN ORLANDO AREA! THE CAR
HAS NOT BEEN RUN OFTEN BY ITS LAST OWNER OR I, HOWEVER, IT FIRES UP
GOOD. THE BATTERY IN THE CAR WAS REPLACED A FEW MONTHS BACK. POWER
IS TRANSFERRED THOUGH A C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR
SHIFTS INTO ALL FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARSWITH EASE. OVERALL, THE
CAR HAS PLENTY OF POWER, MAKES THE RIGHT NOISE, AND IS READY TO BE
TAKEN TO ANY LOCAL CRUISE NIGHT WHERE IT WOULD PRESENT ITSELF VERY
WELL. INSIDE, THE NEW OWNER OF THIS 66 FASTBACK WILL BE IMPRESSED
BY THE CLEAN INTERIOR. THE CARPET AND HEADLINER PRESENT VERY WELL
AND THE UPHOLSTREY IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE AS SEEN IN THE
PHOTOGRAPHS. THE CAR FEATURES AN AFTERMARKET STEREO SYSTEM WITH
AM/FMTUNE-ABILITY AND THE SYSTEM MAKES GREAT SOUND WITH THE
AFTERMARKET SPEAKERS MOUNTED IN THE INTERIOR QUARTER PANELS. THE
AUTOMATIC SHIFTER HANDLE IS WOOD COBRA STYLE UNIT GENERALLY
FEATURED ON 1968-1970 SHELBY MUSTANGS! THE CAR FEATURES A STEERING
COLUMN MONTED TACHOMETER AND RACING STYKE LAP BELT FOR THE DRIVERS
SIDE SEAT OVERALL, THE COSMETICS OF THIS PATICULARSHELBY TRIBUTE
ARE FAIRLY STRONG. THE PAINT PRESENTS ITSELF WELL ALTHOUGH IT IS
DRIVER QUALITY. THE PAINT HAS A NICE SHINE AND LUSTER TO IT, IT IS
NOT CHECKING, AND SHOWS WELL BUT IS NOT PERFECT. THE CHROME BUMPERS
AND STAINLESS TRIM SHOW NICELY ON THE CARAS DO THE WHEELS! THE CAR
IS NOT COSMETICALLY FREE OF FLAWS (AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE
PHOTOGRAPHS) BUT, OVERALL, THIS PATICULAR CAR OFFERS QUIE A BIT OF
BANG FOR THE BUCK. NOT ONLY IS THE CAR (OBVIOUSLY) LISTED FOR A
SMALL FRACTION OF WHAT A REAL SHELBY WOULD GO FOR, BUT IT IS ALSO
LISTED FOR A SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN WHAT OTHER SHELBY TIBUTE TYPE
CARS ARE CURRENTLY LISTED FOR ON EBAY AND OTHER MARKET SOURCES..
MOST OF THOSE SEEMING TO BE LOWER QUALITY EXAMPLES WHEN YOU LOOK
CLOSELYAT THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THIS PATICULAR EXAMPLE IS CLEANAND TIDY,
RUNS WELL, AND LOOKS THE PART. IT WOULD MAKE FOR A WONDERFUL CAR
FOR THE ENTHUSIAST TO TAKE TO A LOCAL CRUISE NIGHTWE FINANCE AND
DELIVER
