For Sale at Auction: 2026 Shelby GT350 in Auburn, Indiana

The Ford Mustang was barely two years old when it began establishing a lasting reputation in American road racing. Introduced in 1964, Ford's new pony car quickly became the foundation for the Shelby GT350, a purposefully developed high-performance model created with competition firmly in mind. Carroll Shelby and his team transformed the Mustang through extensive suspension, braking, engine, and weight-saving modifications, allowing the GT350 to dominate SCCA B-Production racing beginning in 1965 under drivers such as Jerry Titus. When the SCCA launched the Trans-American Sedan Championship in 1966, Shelby American prepared a fleet of Group 2 Mustang notchbacks for the new series. Although these competition cars retained Ford identification rather than Shelby GT350 serial numbers, they incorporated many components and lessons developed through the GT350R program. Shelby-built Mustangs scored important victories and championship points during the inaugural season, helping Ford capture the first Trans-Am Manufacturers' Championship. Mustang won four of the seven races held that year, beginning a competition legacy that would later include the championship-winning Boss 302 campaign of 1970. Built to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Trans Am series, the 2026 Shelby GT350/TA brings that rich history into the modern era. Developed by Shelby American in collaboration with Turn Key Motorsports, the street-legal yet track-focused model incorporates components and technology developed for Shelby's forthcoming Trans Am competition car. Production is limited to a mere 40 examples worldwide, each being documented in the official Shelby Registry. Power comes from a supercharged version of Ford's 5.0-liter V-8, producing an officially stated 830-plus horsepower on 93-octane fuel. Unlike the standard GT350, the GT350/TA is available exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, reinforcing its driver-focused character. Supporting that tremendous output are fully adjustable Trans Am-specification coil-overs with remote reservoirs, Alcon endurance brakes, Forgeline racing wheels, heavy-duty half shafts, upgraded chassis components, additional cooling, and a Truetrac limited-slip differential. Its aggressive carbon-fiber aerodynamic package includes an adjustable Trans Am-approved rear wing, front splitter, dive planes, fender ducting, rocker extensions, rear diffuser, and ducktail spoiler. A carbon-fiber interior tub, Shelby-trimmed seating, serialized identification, and a TIG-welded chromoly four-point cage further emphasize its competition intent. Blending authentic Shelby engineering with technology developed for modern Trans Am racing, the 2026 Shelby GT350/TA is not merely a commemorative appearance package, but a limited-production celebration of the Mustang's earliest and most influential road-racing victories. The very first of just 40 examples built worldwide to be delivered new to private hands, this 2026 Shelby GT350/TA is also the first example to be publicly offered. The test model used by Shelby and *Road & Track* for their global review, this rare example is further elevated among its already few peers. Offered with just 97 test miles, this GT350/TA is finished in Orange Fury and equipped with one-of-one optional Twister Graphics that pay homage to the vintage Shelbys of the early race days. Further options from Turn Key Motorsports include the Off-Road Package that includes a Ford performance oil cooler kit, extreme heat track spec radiator, control arm kit. and a carbon roof wrap. Already destined to become one of the most sought-after modern Shelby automobiles, thanks to production being limited to just 40 examples worldwide, the GT350/TA possesses performance credentials every bit as extraordinary as it is exclusive. The Shelby-engineered supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 delivers more than 830 horsepower, eclipsing the 815 horsepower produced by Ford's new flagship Mustang GTD, while channeling its immense output through an engaging six-speed manual transmission, a feature absent from the GTD. Coupled with Trans Am-derived suspension tuning, race-spec braking, advanced cooling systems, and competition-inspired aerodynamics, the GT350/TA was engineered for true drivers seeking an uncompromising connection between car and road. In an era increasingly dominated by dual-clutch transmissions and electronic intervention, the GT350/TA stands apart as a limited-production Shelby that pairs greater horsepower than Ford's very own halo Mustang GTD with the visceral experience only a manual transmission can provide. In doing so, it remains true to Carroll Shelby's original philosophy, putting the driver, not the computer, at the center of experience. Representing the very first opportunity for collectors to acquire a GT350/TA outside of Shelby's exclusive allocation, this inaugural public offering marks a significant milestone. With production strictly limited to just 40 examples worldwide and with every car spoken for, it presents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most desirable modern Shelby automobiles built.
