Vehicle Description
Have you noticed the side stripes on this 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby
GT350 CSS? The text takes up almost half of the side! But this car
earns its unique designation here (and everywhere else, too)
because this is distinctly restored to be an official continuation
model. What does that mean? Shelby American specifically blessed
Legendary GT to properly re-create the Shelby Mustang experience.
But since Carroll Shelby was also about power and progress, this
one has been upgraded with a leather-lined custom interior,
four-wheel disc brakes, and an awesome supercharged powerhouse.
We love Ford's bold grabber colors, and Grabber Orange is arguably
the boldest of them all. It makes sure people take notice of this
coupe, and this deserves all the extra attention it commands.
Legendary GT takes a classic pony car and gives it a full
restoration/transformation. There's a deep respect for what Carroll
and Ford did. It's why these are officially sanctioned and also why
they look so authentic. So this coupe has the unique front end's
deeply recessed style that looks like it's ready to consume every
lesser car out there. The full-length black stripe package gives it
the unmistakable appearance of a true American racer. The
integrated spoiler, rear window louvers, and center exhaust meant
everyone you pass gets to see some swagger. Of course, this car was
built to be cool - literally - with three NACA ducts on the hood,
two hood heat extractors, and inlets to rush air over every single
wheel/brake. The restoration was thorough, right down to the coiled
snake in the grille, hood twist locks, and the unmistakable SHELBY
in block letters out back. What is interesting is the level of
authenticity that Legendary GT has put into the build. Everything
from the look of the sequential tail lights to the slightly off fit
of the hood gives the impression of a factory car. So the
presentation is not just trying to appeal to casual enthusiasts.
Its goal is to be a true continuation, and so you're going to get a
lot of respect from the knowledgeable guys, too.
While the exterior is quite faithful to the original, the interior
makes sure to deliver modern luxury. After all, the Shelby cars
were premium machines in 1969, and so this one takes the theme into
a new era. It's a full custom setup that takes the exterior's color
theme and flips it to deliver a tasteful black with bold orange
accents. The front seats are modern buckets with terrific
bolstering supple leather, and contrast stitching that includes
Carroll Shelby's signature. The rear seat, custom center console,
door panels, dash, and carpeting are all done to coordinate. There
are nice amenities like air conditioning, power windows, an Ididit
tilt steering column, tinted glass, and a full infotainment system
with an AM/FM stereo and Bluetooth. They also level the right
classic touches in place, like the fold-down rear seat, the clock
above the glovebox, and the front shoulder harnesses mounted to the
roll bar.
The moment you pop the hood you can see the serious investment in
this car's power. That shiny Paxton supercharger looks great, and
more importantly, it gives this Boss 302 V8 a serious boost in
power. And that's not the only upgrade. There are terrific features
like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Mallory ignition, and a
large aluminum radiator to help keep the full package running cool.
So you know the moment you rev the motor where the dual exhaust
gives a rumble and the supercharger produces its whirl, it will be
a truly awesome experience that you and everyone within earshot
won't forget. This is mated to a modified three-speed automatic
transmission on its way to a stout Ford 9-inch rear end. You're
going to want to have complete control in a total power package
like this. That's why it has been upgraded to power rack & pinion
steering, subframe connectors, and four-wheel power disc
brakes.
This GT350 has a unique story to tell, and so it has the full
upgrade list from Legendary GT as well as a certificate of
authenticity. This is the fresh, powerful, comfortable, unique, and
all-around awesome snake-bitten pony car. So if you want the best
of everything, you need this CSS supercharged Shelby. Call
