“The Road Cars”

Racing driver Carroll Shelby and his team had achieved significant success in North America with Ford’s Mustang, winning the SCCA’s B-Production title consecutively in the mid-1960s. Shelby’s reputation as a reliable and respected figure within Ford was established through his involvement in the Cobra projects. Leveraging this success, Shelby initiated performance upgrades to the Mustang, which were officially approved and distributed through select Ford dealerships. Known as the GT350, these models were first introduced in 1965, featuring a enhanced version of Ford’s 289 cubic-inch small block V8 engine. Along with an aluminum intake manifold and Shelby’s custom headers, these modifications helped the engine achieve over 300 horsepower.

In order to manage the increased power output, enhancements were made to the vehicle’s running gear, including a stronger Ford Galaxie rear axle, adjustable shock absorbers, aluminum alloy wheels, and front disc brakes. The early GT350 models were configured without rear seats, positioning the vehicle as a two-seat sports car. Notable distinguishing exterior features of Shelby’s GT350 included racing stripes running along the body center line and the GT350 logo. The addition of a fiberglass hood with functional scoops, removal of all standard Mustang emblems, and the placement of Shelby’s badge at the left side of the grille further set the GT350 apart from the Mustang.

Wearing its original paint and interior, this unrestored 1967 Shelby Mustang GT350 fastback is one of only 821 produced with the four-speed transmission for 1967. The first owner retained the vehicle for 40 years.
This GT350 has received several honors, including the Mid-America Team Shelby Nationals Concours Heritage Class and the SAAC Unrestored Class Gold.
