Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 25th year in the
classic and muscle car business. Work began on the Shelby Mustang
GT350 in 1964 as Carroll Shelby was wrapping up production of his
world-conquering 289 AC Cobra. Ford wanted to burnish their
falcon-based Mustang's performance image with a sports car that
could compete in the SCCA's B Production class. The Shelby won the
B Production class for 3 straight years and a legend was born. This
was promotional gold so Ford, as the major shareholder in the Hertz
rental car company, convinced Hertz to add about 1000 GT350's to
its rental fleet, cementing the icon's place in automotive history.
This well-documented 1966 Shelby GT350-H is a fine example of these
legendary Rent-a-Racers. Beneath the familiar and functional
scooped hood rests Ford's sweet Hi-Po 289 V8 that Shelby coaxed 306
hp from with the help of a Holley carburetor, an aluminum high-rise
intake manifold, special Tri-Y headers, and a Cobra cast aluminum
deep-sump oil pan. Additional features include front disc brakes, a
4-speed manual transmission, correct AM radio, correct Black paint
with Gold stripes, correct 14 chrome Magnum 500 wheels wearing
205/60R14 tires, correct Koni shock absorbers, and a Shelby
tachometer. This car appears in the SAAC Shelby Registry and has
been verified as a genuine 1966 Shelby GT350-H (SVIN SFM6S1415,
FVIN 6R09K172850) which was converted from an automatic to a
4-speed manual transmission in the 1980's. Because most of the
restoration occurred in 1982, most of the parts replaced were NOS,
not Chinese crap. Recent maintenance includes new spark plugs, new
water pump, a new fuel pump, rebuilt carburetor, linkage
adjustment, and fresh oil and filter. If this pedigreed
thoroughbred belongs in your stable, call the team that can make
your dream a reality. Helmet and fire suit not included. Street
Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist
with worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
