Description:
This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 was first used as a company car by Ford executive and Shelby American liaison Ray Geddes before being sold with a demonstrator discount to Nagle Ford of Rochester, New York, in May 1966. It was acquired by the seller in April 1991 from Robert Oswalt of Oswalt's Mustangs & Parts, and a refurbishment performed by Mr. Oswalt at his shop in Leesville, South Carolina, was completed in June of that year. The car is powered by a replacement 289ci HiPo V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and has been refinished in white with blue stripes over black vinyl upholstery. Features include Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes, 10-spoke 14″ alloy wheels, Koni shocks, a dash-mounted tachometer, a push-button AM radio, and a fold-down rear seat. This GT350 is now offered 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 car was refinished in Wimbledon White with blue Le Mans and side stripes during the aforementioned refurbishment. Features unique to Shelby Mustangs included a steel-framed fiberglass hood with a scoop and torsion-type retaining pins as well as a bullet-style side-view mirror, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, and fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the rear fenders.
Optional 10-spoke alloy wheels are finished in silver and mounted with E70-14″ Goodyear Custom Wide Tread tires. GT350s were factory-equipped with Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes as well as larger rear drums than standard Mustangs.
The cabin is trimmed in black vinyl and features a Sport Deck rear seat, GT350-branded rear floormats, latch-and-link front seatbelts, a heater/defroster, and a push-button AM radio.
The three-spoke woodgrain steering wheel fronts a 140-mph speedometer flanked by fuel-level, oil-pressure, charging, and coolant-temperature gauges, and a Cobra-branded 9k-rpm tachometer is center-mounted atop the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 44k miles, approximately 600 of which were driven by the seller.
The replacement 289ci HiPo Windsor V8 was reportedly sourced from a 1967 GT350 and installed under Mr. Oswalt's ownership. Features include a Holley 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 flow into a replacement dual exhaust system with glasspack mufflers and side exits.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
A copy of the Shelby American invoice indicates that the car was sold to Nagle Ford of Rochester, New York, in May 1966 and lists an optional rear seat as well as a demonstrator discount of $430.44 for a total price of $3,156.
