Vehicle Description
Paying homage to its legendary ancestor, Ford marked the 50th
anniversary of the original 1965 Shelby GT350R by bringing back the
iconic track-ready pony car for 2015. The original 1965 Shelby
GT350R was limited to just 37 units, and Ford commemorated this in
2015 by building only 37 for that model year. Purchase of the 37
2015 GT350Rs was limited to Ford family and VIPs - marking a true
collectible for aficionados. This example comes out of the personal
collection of a retired Vice President of Ford Motor Company.
Powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine internally known as the "Voodoo
engine," the 526hp V8 utilized a flat-plane crankshaft, delivering
peak horsepower at 7500 rpm and screaming all the way to an 8250
rpm redline. Coupled to the race-derived engine is a special TREMEC
TR-3160 6-speed manual transmission with 3.73 gears and sending
power to a Torsen limited-slip differential. The GT350R rides on
set of Magneride electronic dampers and features a spartan
driver-focused interior. In a bid to reduce unsprung weight and
rotational mass, Ford opted for Carbon Revolution's one-piece
carbon-fiber wheels, which are clad in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
tires. As for stopping power, the GT350R opts for 6-piston Brembo
brakes up front and 4-piston in the rear. This GT350 was spec'd
with Equipment Group 920A and Electronics Package, which includes
Ford's Sync 3 with navigation, a 7-speaker premium sound system and
dual-zone air conditioning. The exterior is finished in Magnetic
Gray Metallic with red-accented black racing stripes spanning the
length of the car. Additionally, the GT350R features a carbon-fiber
spoiler and grille. This GT350R has 855 actual miles.
