(Photo note - the first few photos of this Shelby GT350 are from
our showroom, shot Oct 14th. Other pics are from documentation a
while back, just FYI.) True Shelby GT350! This is NOT some
'tribute' Shelby made up out of some old Mustang! This is the 3rd
from LAST 1966 built in the hangar at LAX (before the unobtainable
convertibles.) What's more this Shelby has incredible
documentation. It's listed in the Shelby America Directory 1966
Edition. We have the original Shelby window sticker & equipment
list, plus a full accounting of owners back to the fellow who
bought it new in Lompoc, CA via classic Cali 'Pink Slips'. In fact,
the car lived in SoCal its whole life before joining a Colorado
collection eight years ago. The car is listed in the Shelby
American Register and was autographed by Carroll years ago.
Records indicate it still has its original 289 engine, but the
Borg-Warner 4-speed transmission has been replaced with a Tremec
5-speed for more relaxed cruising. (The original transmission is
crated and comes with the car). Another change was from the
original less-popular Sapphire Blue to the also-available red with
white stripes. An exhaustive restoration was carried out by the
second owner in the early '90s and the car has only covered 3000
miles since. It has the owner's books and a file of records dating
all the way back to 1966. Always in California-never in the rust
belt!!
The car has just received a new clutch assembly, flywheel, tune-up
and complete fluid change, so it's ready for new adventures with
the next fortunate owner. Sure, a white-with-blue-stripes original
'65 in concours condition is 'better,' but it's also well more than
double this price and too perfect to actually take out and have
experiences with.
This one triggers the collector-car trifecta: (1) It's a hugely
desirable model - one if the last 66s, (2) in fabulous condition
with great records, and (3) will prove to be a good investment in
years to come.
If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on
our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect
first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We
practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that
nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself.
Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car,
and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic
happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a
knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales
are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our
cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We
follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future
clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
