TECHNICALLY, THE SHELBY MUSTANG
FIRST APPEARED IN 1968 WHEN FORD BOUGHT THE "SHELBY" NAME FROM
CARROLL SHELBY & ADDED IT TO THEIR PROPRIETARY MARQUE MUSTANG. THE
65-66-67 SHELBY'S WERE KNOWN
AS "SHELBY COBRAS" THAT WERE SPECIALLY MODIFIED BY CARROLL SHELBY'S
COMPANY AND SOLD AS A SERIES.
THE PROGRAM WAS FACTORY SPONSORED BY FORD TO COMPETE WITH THE CORVETTE, ALSO
FACTORY SPONSORED BY CHEVY. THIS 1965 GT350 MUSTANG TRIBUTE CREATION WAS
BUILT WITH THAT SAME SPIRIT OF COMPETITION IN MIND.
ALTHOUGH BUILT FOR SPEED, COSMETICS WERE NOT OVERLOOKED. THE BEAUTY OF
THIS ONE INCLUDES THE FACT
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO RENT-A-RACER LIKE IN THE DAY OF THE HERTZ SHELBY
GT350 - YOU CAN OWN IT!
WHILE THIS GT350 CLONE HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY BUILT TO BE RACED, IF
THE FUTURE OWNER DESIRES,
IT CAN STILL BE EASILY TRANSFORMED BACK INTO A VERY MEAN ONE-OF-A-KIND
STREET MACHINE.
CARROLL SHELBY NEVER DREAMT UP A 460 CUBIC INCH POWERED MUSTANG, BUT THE
CREATOR OF THIS PONY
COULD NOT RESIST SHOEHORNING IN THIS FRESHLY BUILT BIG BLOCK FORD. THE
SUSPENSION WAS CONVERTED
TO A MUSTANG II RACK AND PINION, ENGINE SET BACK 8" WHILE THE SUSPENSION
IS 2" FORWARD OF STOCK.

HOWEVER, FORD's OF THIS CALIBER EXCEED THAT NUMBER ANNUALLY.
THE NICE THING ABOUT OLD CARS IS ...THEY ALWAYS GET OLDER.
