Vehicle Description
This 1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang is #6 of 252 "Carryover" fastbacks produced for the model year. Like the other cars in its production run, it started life as a 1965 Mustang and was equipped with a combination of 1965 and 1966 GT350 exterior, interior, and performance components. When it was initially configured, this GT350 did not have stripes and came withsteel wheels, rear over-rider traction bars, a fiberglass hood with a steel frame, and a rear package shelf, making this one of 78 "Carryover" cars with that storage area instead of a back seat. It was shipped on October 28, 1965 to Don Wagner Ford Sales, Inc. in Vandalia, Ohio. After passing through a series of owners, it was purchased by Curt Vogt of Cobra Automotive Inc. in Wallingford, Connecticut, and given new front bodywork, a new drivetrain, and other new parts. The current owner bought this GT350 in 2015 and reportedly won Best of Show and the Barrett-Jackson award with it at the 2017 Vail Automotive Classic. Power is provided by a Hi-Po 289cid V8 and delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. Features include 15-inch Shelby/Cragar wheels, a Detroit Locker rear axle, a woodgrain steering wheel, and KONI shock absorbers. Finished in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue Le Mans stripes over a black vinyl interior, this GT350 comes from the selling dealer with a 2017-issued 1966 Shelby Registry Report from Howard C. Pardee of the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) and a clear title.
