Which flavor of 1965-70 Shelby do you most identify with?
GT500KRust:
I have a soft spot for the 1968 GT500KR, but some recent experiences have given me a new appreciation for the 1969-70 era cars. The Shelby/Mustang evolved dramatically over its short lifespan. With so much variation, which one do you connect with most and why?
Doug C:
They are all great cars but for me the Hertz version is the one I identify with true most. Doesn’t hurt that over the past 30+ years I’ve had 3 of them. I also like the non-black ones best. Cheers
Richstang:
Your first post and already your stirring the pot?
::)
Of course you know everyone will have a different opinion. They are all special for their own reasons.
'65's for the brute track set-ups
'66 for their slightly refined street - track performance
'67 for their GT40 influenced design and GT500 intro
'68 for the convertibles and cobra jet engines
'69 for their muscle car performance and luxury options

The 67's. But, of course I own one.
But, lately it is the weird one offs, drag cars, off the wall colors, odd ordered optioned ones I find interesting.

When I was growing up my family was into big blocks. As a kid, I always was drawn to the looks of 67 Shelbys the most. Those dual quad 428s under the hood, GT40 style scoops, mag stars, and aggressive longer nose.
BUT once I went for some hot laps in 5R100 and a track prepped 67 GT350, I changed to wanting a performance enhanced 67 GT350. I still have big block cars and my car is a pleasure to drive and goes like hell too!
Love them all but if I can have only one, it's a 67 350 for me.
