Vehicle Description
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. This particular example, serial #10 of 37, was purchased
originally by Jon Gruden, head coach of the NFL's Las Vegas
Raiders, and has just 157 miles from new. Powered by a 5.2-liter V8
engine producing 526hp, it utilizes a flat-plane crankshaft,
delivering peak horsepower at 7,500 rpm to an 8,250 rpm redline.
Coupled to the race-derived engine is a special TREMEC TR-3160
6-speed manual transmission with 3.73 gear ratio, which sends power
to a Torsen limited-slip differential. The GT350R rides on a set of
MagneRide electronic dampers and features a spartan driver-focused
interior. The GT350R is sitting on Carbon Revolution's one-piece
carbon-fiber wheels, which are clad in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
tires. Stopping power comes from 6-piston Brembo brakes up front
and 4-piston in the rear. This GT350 was equipped 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 Avalanche Gray Metallic
with red-accented black racing stripes. Additionally, the GT350R
features a carbon-fiber spoiler and grille. CARFAX shows Ford Motor
