1965 Shelby GT350
Wimbledon White With Factory Lemans Blue Stripes
Optional Cragar Wheels With Correct Blue Dot Tires
Factory Demonstrator When New
Rare Trunk-Mounted Battery Complete With "Cobra" Vented Battery Caps
Fully Documented Shelby; Nut And Bolt Rotisserie Restored
SAAC-42 Gold Award Winner And MCA Concours Gold
2019 Amelia Island Concours Class Winner
Greenbrier Concours D'Elegance Award
According to the Shelby American factory records, this chassis was received at the Shelby American Los Angeles CA. facility on May 12th, 1965. Work started on the same day and it was finished on May 20th, 1965. It was then shipped to Gene Hamon Ford in Texas City, TX and they were invoiced $3,944.25. It was then used by the dealership as a factory demonstrator. Being one of only 562 Shelby GT350's built in 1965, this special Shelby was delivered new with the early fiberglass porthole hood, COBRA vented battery caps, rare trunk mounted battery, Cragar Shelby wheels, and Le Mans stripes. It is powered by the prerequisite Hi-Po 289/306hp engine backed by the aluminum case T-10 4-speed transmission.
Countless hours were spent to complete the total cost is no object concourse rotisserie restoration to SAAC/ MCA concourse specifications. The result is an award-winning restoration with achievements and accolades that very few other cars have ever attained. The paint has been polished and is show quality; great lengths went into the paint work to replicate a job just as the factory would have. The interior is complete with correct dash mounted pod containing the 8,000 rpm tach and oil pressure gauges, factory racing lap belts, 15" wood rimmed steering wheel and factory radio delete plate. On a hoist and you will discover the undercarriage that has been finished to an absolutely outstanding quality, with floors finished in the correct factory style red oxide primer with body color overspray and blacked out pinch welds. As well the front and rear suspension has been painstakingly refinished just as it would have left the factory with correct finishes; including the paint dabs and chalk markings. The overall look and unmistakable sound of the car comes from the factory side exiting exhaust just in front of the correct Blue Dot tires mounted on the optional Cragar wheels.
Pretty. :)

Given the factory paint was single stage enamel cured by baking and not polished the statements " The paint has been polished and is show quality; great lengths went into the paint work to replicate a job just as the factory would have. " appear to be in conflict with each other . Which is it? Polished or paint work to replicate a job just as the factory would have?

When I got the car to finish, it had already been painted and remember the paint had been sanded/buffed some, but not to the extreme we see some cars done.
This was the one you and Jeff judged in Myrtle Beach at the MCA show...

Yes, I remember now. A very nice car indeed.
Those original smaller diameter air filters must be getting almost impossible to find. I can remember Craig Jackson saying he paid some serious money for a original element. Just nit picking maybe, car is excellent regardless.

The maroon ones used on 65/66 you mean not the orange ones. I have trying to push Chris Brown into making the early maroon ones.
What are the maroon filter worth? I think I may have a new one in storage?

Great question. According to C Jackson on coffee walk EP 38 he paid $1000.00 for a assembly line nos element. That was march 2019.
Awesome looking car!

Keep in mind that there are more then one variety too. ;) Consequently the price varies depending on which hipo maroon filter you are considering.700.00 to 1900.00 depending on which one is typical.
Guys...this is my old ride - 5S262. The excellent restoration finishing work is courtesy of Charles! The detail on the undercarriage overspray/coloring courtesy of Jeff and the sourcing of parts courtesy of Craig Conley, Ed Meyer and Jim Cowles! I traded both 5S541 and 5S262 for CSX2177 last year. It's was a tough morning putting two nice GT350s on a trailer, but I always wanted a 289 Competition COBRA so I had to give it a go...hard to believe how far 262 had come and yes - the Amelia Concours brought lots of people to the car saying it was the nicest restored GT350 they'd ever seen. Rearview mirror now - it'll be interesting to see where it goes. I just heard for the first time yesterday from a "friend of a friend" that 5S541 is now apart. Incredibly original car that was - I was intending to leave it unrestored, but it's another's perogative now...
would be nice to see the scoring sheet.
is the rear sitting high?
should the valve cover gaskets have a black top coat?

Like two brunettes for a redhead.
For the long term record when the Legendary site vanishes.
Take care

So please describe how it's been going from the Mustang platform to the CSX platform. Big change that you are pleased with in hindsight?

Rick,
What I'm finding is that cobra variations and running changes are much more frequent than dealing with the Mustangs over the years. This means hunting the correct parts require extra diligence and paying close attention to where in the timeframe of these changes the part you are souring was built. I happen to have wound up with a Lucas wired car with Ford charging system - roughly 60ish of these cars were built before Ford decided it's version of a electrical system was better and at CSX2200 changed to their devices and added their alternator. Nothing is a "paint by numbers" for restoration from this perspective. As far as the driving and use experience I cannot speak to this yet - car is still in the process of getting wired and I've been waiting on guage restoration providers to send back my stuff before I can fire up.
Wayne
Thanks Wayne. Always wondered if I would like a Cobra experience.
Rick,
As an owner/longtime caretaker of both... Although the 65 GT350 is a very special car, I would sell one of ours FAR before I would ever consider selling our CSX2XXX...
The 289 in my opinion, just gives such as visceral feeling when driving that I can't quite compare to a GT350.
