Vehicle Description
This gorgeous and authentic Shelby GT 350 is well documented with
history from day 1, records include the window sticker, build
sheet, Marti Report, Shelby Registry certificate, restoration
receipts, restoration photos of every stage and much more. The car
is almost completely original specifications except where noted
below. The block and engine pan, valve covers, intake manifold,
carburetor, distributor, power steering pump, are all original
parts in the car when new. When any parts that were update, the
original parts were retained and come with the car. This vehicle
has received performance and cosmetic modifications. These
modifications can be reversed should the buyer wish to do so. In
some instances this would be as simple as unbolting a part and
replacing it with the original. I other cases, such as the color
change or the engine build, a much more involved procedure would be
required to return it to its original configuration.
PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS
The engine has been modified to run efficiently on 91 Octane
unleaded gasoline and to produce upwards of 390 BHP and 425 lb feet
of torque, placing it in a performance category well above a stock
GT500. In addition, due to the utilization of light weight and heat
dissipating aluminum and steel components, this car will
significantly out handle a GT500 on the road. The specific
modifications are outlined and explained below:
1. Edlebrock Performer Aluminum Heads: Higher compression possible
with 91 octane fuel. Greater heat dissipation and less weight than
the original cast iron heads.
2. 347 Stroker Conversion: 10.5 : 1 Compression ration. Forged
crankshaft, Shot peened rods, Forged pistons.
3. Recurved Dual Point Distributor utilizing the original unit.
4. Engle RV Camshaft with Solid Lifters
5. Roller Rocker Arms
6. FlowTech Performance Headers: Ceramic coated. ( Original Cast
Iron High performance exhaust manifolds are stored in the
trunk.)
7. High Performance Torque Converter with Boss 302 spline count
8. Boss 302 input shaft and transmission clutch disks & torque
converter
9. Positraction Differential built by Bill Thompson Enterprises
10. Flex Fan for less resistance at high RPM, (Original HiPo fan is
stored in the trunk.)
11. Aluminum high performance water pump
12. Aluminum components were left unpainted to aid in the
dissipation of heat.
COSMETIC MODIFICATIONS
The original lime Green paint was completely removed down to the
bare metal surface. Neither Ford nor Shelby American were known for
their attention to detail when it came to the fit of body parts. As
a result, it was decided to take the time and effort necessary to
improve the alignment and finish of these pieces before repainting
would commence. At this time, it was decided to change the body
color due to the fact that Lime Green is just and awful color. In
its place, 1967 Thunderbird Charcole Gray Metallic with White Rally
Stripes was selected. While many may take issue with this decision,
the abundance of "Best of Show" and "First Place" Trophies seems to
vindicate the color change, not to mention the stunning, attention
getting appearance of the car.
The Outboard high beam headlights and grill were replaced with
Inboard headlights and grill. The original grill and brackets are
stored in the trunk, and can be reinstalled in short order.
In addition, most major components and brackets of the
undercarriage and engine bay were Powder Coated for durability and
appearance.
