About the GT350:
The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance variant of the Ford
Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1968, and
from 1969 to 1970 by Ford. The 1965-1966 cars were the smallest and
lightest of the GT 350 models. These cars are often called
"Cobras", which was the Ford-powered AC-based two-seat sports car
also produced by Shelby American during the same period. The 1967
redesign made for a heavier Mustang, along with a longer,
fiberglass hood, and new front and rear fascias. The design of the
original 1965 version was evident, but these styling upgrades gave
the car a more aggressive appearance and achieved Carroll Shelby's
goal of differentiating his car from the Mustang on which it was
based. The separate high-beam headlamps in the grille added more
character, while a thin, chrome front bumper sat below a mesh
grille with the classic "Shelby GT350" logo in place.
The small hood scoop was there to deliver fresh air to the engine.
Shelby also included new, horizontal sequential taillights (sourced
from a '67 Cougar in 1967 and a '65 Thunderbird in 1968) and an
integrated Kamm-type rear spoiler. Functional rear brake-cooling
scoops adorned the rear quarter panels. Ten-spoke, fifteen-inch,
cast-aluminum rims were the wheel choice with Goodyear
white-lettered radials.
This is beautiful 1968 GT350, this car turns heads everywhere it
goes. It is equipped with a superb 302/automatic drivetrain in the
correct Black interior and correct Raven Black paint. If you're in
the market for a classic that's the perfect fit for sunny show
fields and world class collections, it's the car you've been
waiting for!
In 1968 Shelby rekindled his relationship with Hertz Rent-a-Car to
resurrect their "Rent-a-Racer" program with Shelby Mustangs as part
of Hertz's Sports Car Club fleet. Out of the total 1253 Fastback's
made 224 were commissioned by Hertz therefore leaving only 1,029
cars that were delivered to the public. In 1968 the 289ci V8 was
replaced with a factory 302 V8 using an aluminum Cobra intake
manifold and Holley 600 cfm carb.
