where is the lost 1965 / 66 Shelby Hertz GT350 car # 48 prototype ?

[FL SAAC]

speaking of lost Shelbys;

Originally a white-with-blue-stripes '65 Shelby, car #48 was pulled and repainted in Hertz black and gold for presentation to Hertz rental company. The car eventually was pressed into rental service in the New York area before being sold to the public after the program ended. The whereabouts of the car today are unknown, but it would be the only carryover '65 Shelby in the Hertz lineup.

Good question.  I never knew that there was a Hertz carryover. The car seems to have fallen off of the face of the Earth since 1967.  Intriguing to speculate what happened.

[67 GT350]

Parked next to JM's car?

could this be car #048 in the earliest Hertz advertising  ?

[FL SAAC]

This is why we think this prototype Shelby Hertz # 048 is extremely  valuable :

First prototype presented to the Hertz Corporation in November 1965 for their Herzt Rent a Racer program

This commences the Ford  Shelby Hertz program

First Shelby to be converted into a Hertz rental car

First carryover for 1966

This is number 1 of the total 1,001 1966 GTHs

First Hertz four speed car

Was originally white,  repainted to the Hertz black and gold colors

Should have all the particular items of all 1965s but is a 1966 Hertz

Did we miss anything to make it the most valuable ?

Again all others, move over if this unicorn is ever found and goes to auction

" The first 252 1966 GT350s are known as "Carry-over" or "Left over" cars as they are 1965 chassis built into 1966 model year cars by Shelby, and as a result, a unique blend of 1965 and 1966 features. Today these carry over cars are the most desirable 1966 production GT350s and have a devout following. "
