1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 is for sale

Between 1965 and 1970, one of the legendary high-performance cars, the Shelby Mustang GT 350, was produced, and the first generation is considered the smallest and lightest of all GT 350 models. One example of this car, the 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 is for sale.

This Shelby Mustang GT350 is powered by an aftermarket 4.7 L 289ci HiPo Windsor V8 engine (1967 GT350) with a factory rated 306 hp (228 kW) and 329 lb-ft (446 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

The car was refinished in Wimbledon White with blue Le Mans and side stripes during 1991. It is equipped with a steel-framed fiberglass hood with a scoop and torsion-type retaining pins, a bullet-style side-view mirror, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the rear fenders, Koni shocks, Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes and large rear drums. It sits on silver 10-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in E70-14″ Goodyear Custom Wide Tread tires.

Inside, the seats are trimmed in black vinyl that also covers the door panels and the Sport Deck rear seat. In front of the driver are a three-spoke woodgrain steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 44,378 miles. Additional equipment includes GT350-branded rear floormats, latch-and-link front seatbelts, a heater/defroster, and a push-button AM radio.

During 1991, the car was refurbished, which included the installation of a four-barrel carburetor, a high-rise aluminum intake manifold, a chrome open-element air cleaner, and finned aluminum valve covers with open-letter Cobra logos, long-tube headers that flow into a replacement dual exhaust system with glasspack mufflers and side exits.

Shelby Mustang GT350 comes with owner’s manuals, copies of Shelby American documents, a Shelby American Automobile Club serial number verification letter, a Carroll Shelby Motors license plate frame, and a clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.

The auction ends on April 30 and the highest bid at the time of writing was $141,000 USD.
