Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang fastback is made to be a tribute to a
GT350H, but it hides an even larger secret. The VIN is for a K-code
factory car! That rarity and performance lineage is why this one
has been given investments like a five-speed and a properly built
powerful V8 under the hood.
This is a very cool custom presentation of an icon. The black paint
with gold stripes borrows the Shelby GT350 Hertz livery we all
love. This one seems to do a terrific job of being a detailed
build. So you get the GT350's hood scoop, hood pins, clean grille
with offset pony emblem, side scoops, and plenty of the correct
Shelby badging. There are even classic Hertz logos in the center
caps of the mag wheels. You can tell this was built to be a driver,
and that's certainly a compliment. The full Hertz livery has a nice
gloss without creating Museum-level anxiety so that your smile is
genuine on every Sunday drive. And the radiant chrome bumpers,
well-fitting doors, and clean glass let you see all the angles from
the outside to ensure everyone understands this is a striking and
detailed power pony.
The interior keeps the Shelby feeling going. The full black package
has plush carpeting, good upholstery, and a smooth dash, making it
ready for a drive. You have Shelby upgrades like racing front
seatbelts, a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel with a Cobra center
cap, and a correct-style Cobra racing tach mounted prominently on
the dash. And there are other sporty features, like the full round
gauges and folding rear seat. Plus, you know it was made to be a
driver's car when you count the gears on the shifter.
The engine bay has a tidy style letting you see the power within.
This 289 cubic-inch V8 is a replacement block, but we are told it's
a proper HiPo K-code motor (there is photo documentation of this
but no secondary verification.) It does have the correct heads,
alternator, and other details you want on a K-code V8. The motor
was fully rebuilt as part of full restoration in the 1980-90s and
continues to look and feel great because of constant investment. So
you see newer supporting components, like MSD distributor, steel
braided lines, Cobra finned valve covers, and a newer fuel tank.
This strong-running powerhouse makes a terrific tune out of the
dual exhaust. And you're in even better control of the V8's sound
and fury thanks to the upgraded five-speed manual transmission. As
a proper Shelby tribute, it wants you to get a for the pavement
from behind the wheel. But this also does it confidently with
features like Koni shocks, front disc brakes, and rear traction
bars. We're even told this is running a versatile 3.73 limited-slip
rear end.
The sale includes the build receipts, maintenance records, and
verification photos. The K-code fastbacks were the true
one-percenters of the first few years of the Mustang's production.
So that already gives this one some awesome rarity even before you
enjoy the GT350H appearance and awesome driver attitude. So yes,
this is the classic you'll love to own and drive. Call now!
