Description:
This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350H is one of approximately 1,000 examples produced as part of a partnership between Ford and the Hertz rental-car company. According to the SAAC registry, the car was shipped in January 1966 to Horn-Williams Ford Motor Co. of Dallas, Texas, for dealer preparation prior to delivery to Hertz in Dallas. The first private owner bought the car in Texas in 1967, and it was acquired by the seller out of Wisconsin in 2005. The car was initially refurbished and modified by a previous owner in Texas in the 1970s, with work said to have included an exterior color changes and replacement of the powertrain. A subsequent refurbishment was carried out in the mid-1990s by Shelby Parts and Restoration of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Its 302ci V8 is paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes front disc brakes, 15″ Torq Thrust-style wheels, a fold-down rear seat, and a Kenwood cassette stereo. This GT350H is now offered in California with a serial number verification document from the SAAC, copies of 1966 delivery paperwork, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
The body is believed to have been finished from the factory in black, the car was refinished in Wimbledon White with blue Le Mans stripes and side stripes during prior ownership. Features unique to Shelby Mustangs include a steel-framed fiberglass hood with a scoop, hood pins, plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the rear fenders, and a bullet-style side mirror.
Torq Thrust-style 15” wheels were installed during prior ownership and are fitted with 225/60 BFGoodrich tires mounted in November 2021. Front disc brakes were standard on GT350 models, as were larger rear drum brakes than those used on standard Mustang models.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a folding rear bench trimmed in black vinyl. Equipment includes latch-and-link harnesses for the front occupants, manually-operated side windows, and a Kenwood cassette stereo.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears a Cobra GT350 badge and frames a 140-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and battery voltage. A Cobra-branded tachometer is mounted on top of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles, approximately 3,400 of which were added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
The replacement 302ci V8 is said to be equipped with 351 Windsor-sourced cylinder heads and breathes through an aftermarket four-barrel carburetor, and the engine bay is fitted with an export brace and a cross bar. An oil change was completed in November 2021.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was installed in place of the factory automatic transmission under prior ownership. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery and show surfaces coated in red oxide primer as well as the drivetrain, exhaust system, and suspension.
The Ford serial number ........ is stamped beneath the reproduction Shelby serial number tag and corresponds to a 1966 K-code Mustang. The serial number SFM6S694 is listed as the VIN on the Arizona title.
Shelby American Automobile Club correspondence indicates that the serial number SFM6S694 aligns with a Shelby serial number recorded in their files. The seller states that the Ford serial number referenced in the letter above is the same number shown stamped on the inner fenders. Also shown in the gallery is a copy of the January 1966 order sheet for Hertz Corporation that lists standard and optional equipment as well as a total price of $3,797.
