1966 Shelby GT350H For Sale - California Car From New, Fully
Documented LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966 Shelby
GT350H The "Rent-a-Racer" program provided by Shelby and Hertz was
a promotional idea to get the Shelby Mustang in the hands of car
enthusiasts to really show off the cars potential. It worked,
almost too well!! The stories are still rampant about cars being
rented on Friday, having their engines used in personal race cars,
the Shelby's themselves having full roll cages installed for the
weekend for racing, and people replacing the Hi-Po Shelby engine
for a generic Ford 289 4 barrel and returning it to Hertz!!! This
1966 Shelby GT350H was shipped to S & C Motors Inc. in San
Francisco, California in May of 1966 to be prepared prior to
delivery to Hertz. This new Shelby was invoiced to Hertz for $3,547
plus $105.55 for chrome Magnum wheels, $45.45 for Radio, $20
pre-delivery charge and $141.75 for freight for a grand total of
$3,859.75. By 1967, its time was done in the rental fleet and it
was sold to its first private owner who lived in California. It
changed hands a few more times after that all while remaining in
the state where it was sold new. Under previous ownership, it
underwent a rotisserie restoration finished in its original color
combination of Black with Gold stripes. The engine was removed and
sent out to rebuilt during the restoration and the transmission was
upgraded to a 4 speed. The engine compartment is detailed nicely
with correct decals and paint finishes. The undercarriage is
finished in red oxide primer with color overspray and inspection
markings. Documenting this beautiful Hertz Shelby includes SAAC
serial number verification, Shelby invoices, restoration receipts,
registration documents, owner's manual, as well as being listed in
the Shelby registry. This Shelby is a great example of the rare and
unique Rent a Racer version of the famous GT350. From a $12/day
rental to a desirable collector car, great history, special
features and Shelby pedigree make this a great car for the
discerning collector or Shelby Enthusiast. Additional Details: 1966
