Vehicle Description
This 2006 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H celebrates one of the coolest
collaborations in the car industry. So not only do you get a rare
and speedy pony car, but also the exceptional paperwork file that
comes with the car really makes sure that this instant classic
remains a valued collectible.
The pairing of Shelby and Hertz is legendary. The exclusive black
and gold coupes were originally for those in 1966 who wanted to be
a professional racer every weekend. They brought these back in 2006
to celebrate the 40th anniversary with a limited run of only 500
examples. But while the 1966 cars were used and abused, the 2006
cars were highly-controlled weekend show machines. In fact, we have
a terrific paperwork file with the window stickers of both Ford and
Shelby, and there's also the check-in list from Hertz. And because
these were one of the lowest production Shelby cars of its era,
this one has been treated with proper care in private hands. That's
why the low odometer is believed to reflect actual mileage,
averaging less than 800 miles annually (current FL title mileage is
Exempt due to age). The level of care also shows in the coupe's
presentation. The black paint shows all the right signs of being
original, and it has the deep luster of a well-kept coupe. And the
exclusive gold striping makes this Shelby truly feel like precious
metal. It has largely been kept in preserved condition rather than
take out originality with any few cosmetic touch-ups that may be
needed. So while you have the option to alter anything, we're quite
pleased to see one that remembers originality is cherished in the
original Shelby Mustangs today. And these truly are a special
sports machine with a big vented performance hood, locking pins,
bright billet grilles, 17-inch wheels, plenty of official Shelby
badging, and the full-width rear spoiler.
The interior is a loaded Mustang with all the right Shelby touches.
The dark charcoal leather sets the tone correctly for this
performance machine. These sculpted buckets are all-day
comfortable, and the driver gets both power adjustment and power
bolstering. As a loaded pony car, you get all the best in modern
features. This includes air conditioning, cruise control, power
windows, power locks, rear window defrost, keyless entry/alarm,
dual airbags, and a Shaker 500 AM/FM stereo with an in-dash disc
changer. And to make sure you never forget how special this machine
is, there is the official Carroll Shelby plaque. Even the full
carpeting is upgraded with the Shelby 40th anniversary logo,
including the trunk.
More than just the appearance of performance, the Shelby GT-H was
given a nice upgrade over the Mustang GTs. The 4.6-liter was given
a cold air intake and new performance exhaust right from the start.
This deeper breathing gave the GT-H a total of 325 horsepower. It's
a well-preserved and highly original setup. In fact, as you look at
the undercarriage photos, you'll even be able to spot some factory
markings and tags still nicely displayed. And while you're noticing
that, you'll also pick up on the upgrades such as the specially
tuned dampers, performance springs, and thick sway bars front &
rear that were all part of this GT-H from day one. The upgraded
handling combined with the five-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS, and Pirelli P Zero Nero
tires create an outstanding total package.
The sale comes with a binder full of documentation like the window
stickers, Marti Report, dealer invoice, title documentation, dealer
invoice, and owner's manual packet (see pictures), just to name a
few! This is the GT-H coupe that hits all the right marks for
preservation, rarity, and stature. So if you're a true collector,
don't let this one slip away. Call today!!!
