VEHICLE HISTORY AND STORY

The Shelby "Rent-A-Racer" program was a legendary partnership between Shelby American and Hertz that began in 1966. This allowed the public the opportunity to rent and experience first hand race-ready GT350H Mustangs at a reasonable rate of $17 per day and $.17 per mile. Originally designed as a promotional tool for the Hertz Sports Car Club, the program became famous among weekend warriors who would rent the cars to compete in drag races or SCCA events. Carol Shelby and (then) Hertz general manager Peyton Cramer struck a deal for 1,000 specially modified GT350s. Depending on the source, some say the number was 999, others state the number was 1001. The majority were finished in Raven Black with Gold Lemans stripes however a very small amount were produced in white, blue, red and green.
