When Ford launched the first Mustang in 1964, it was an unprecedented sales hit, taking the automotive world by storm. But Ford new that they had a problem that would eventually hurt sales. At a time when everyone's cars were getting faster, and gaining power, the new Mustang simply wasn't very fast. The car had lots of cool factor, but Ford new that if they didn't find a way to build a performance reputation for the Mustang, customers would start to notice.
-
Who better to turn to than Shelby American, already famous for their successes with the Cobra, Daytona and Ford GT40 programs, sending the new Mustang to Shelby was a natural choice. Once the team at Shelby got involved, the result was the fire-breathing GT350, a Mustang that performed as well as it looked, and that started a legacy that continues today.
-
There was no better way to sell street performance than by proving it on the racetrack, and so the GT350 R was born. Engineered to take the Mustang from a hot street car to a winning racecar, the GT350 R was a track terror that filled Ford's Trophy case with hardware.
-
This car is built to pay tribute to those legendary racecars, and bears tremendous documented history of it's own. Having been converted to R model specification over 30 years ago, this special car is a road-legal example that has seen the track, as well as an extremely detailed restoration.
-
Correct, genuine parts, sourced directly from Shelby have been used, and this car bears the signature of Carroll Shelby himself, who personally and enthusiastically approved of its construction. Highly detailed, and upgraded for max performance, this is a show-stopping centerpiece at any event, track or show.
