1966 Shelby GT350

This 1966 Shelby GT-350 Fastback is the LAST Production 1st Generation Body Style BUILT, SOLD and SHIPPED by Shelby American, Inc.This car was purchased 12 years ago from the 2nd owner. It sat in his garage un-driven since the early 80s. It has remained in the same As Found condition until the time of this listing in which exterior and interior have been carefully cleaned and detailed. The original exterior color from new is Sapphire Blue with Stripe delete. The 2nd owner painted it white. Exterior pictures show the overall rust free panels and lower rockers. Body is very solid with no rust through.

It retains the original factory installed Drivetrain including 289cu HiPo V8, 4 Spd Manual Transmission and Rear Axle. The black Vinyl Interior is original and in very good condition with no signs of wear. All mechanical components have been carefully sorted by a master technician to insure safe operation while maintaining originality where possible. This GT-350 is now running and driving safely. All original parts replaced have been saved for use in any future restoration.

All numbers have been verified by the Shelby Registry including the original Ford Vin # matching to this assigned Shelby Vin #. All Shelby Documents and copy of 2nd owner Title are included with the sale.

This Shelby was recently listed on another online auction in which reserve was not met. It was presented in its AS FOUND condition including all the dust and dirt. It did not meet the target reserve price set.

My concept of the initial sale was simple, the buyer gets to step into my shoes and buy what I found 12 years ago, the way I found it. The buyer gets to choose what they do to it, how they do it and where they have it done. The difference with this listing and the previous listing is now a running, driving Shelby. It is cleaned up so that all the concerns over rust and corrosion can be put to rest.

Finally, Many ideas were discussed in comments during the last listing-
Keep it like it is get it running and drive it. Cars and Coffee anyone????
Take it to the major shows and enter it in the Barn Found category????
Restore it to its original glory????

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a significant car built by the iconic Carroll Shelby during the period he was in control of Shelby American. During the previous Auction, between the educated commenters and speculation of what this cars actual perceived value in the current As Found condition, was as much as $500,000.00. That half million dollar value was based on the car prior to clean up and proper mechanical sorting week which now confirms the overall outstanding condition of the metal and safe and reliable operation of the original drivetrain.
