Description
The car was refinished in its factory color of Candy Apple Red during the refurbishment, which included placement of the body on a rotisserie for metal repairs. The selling dealer notes that the paint on the hood differs in shade from the other panels. Features include white Le Mans stripes, a steel-framed fiberglass hood with a scoop and retaining pins, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the quarter panels, a bullet-style driver-side mirror, and a…
The car was refinished in its factory color of Candy Apple Red during the refurbishment, which included placement of the body on a rotisserie for metal repairs. The selling dealer notes that the paint on the hood differs in shade from the other panels. Features include white Le Mans stripes, a steel-framed fiberglass hood with a scoop and retaining pins, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the quarter panels, a bullet-style driver-side mirror, and a fender-mounted antenna.
Ten-spoke alloy wheels were optional for the GT350 in 1966 and are wrapped in 6.95-14 Goodyear Blue Streak white-letter tires, as is a matching spare secured in the trunk. Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes were standard on GT350s, as were larger rear drum brakes than those used on contemporary standard Mustang models.
The cabin is trimmed in black knit vinyl over the front bucket seats and optional fold-down rear seat along with color-keyed door panels and carpeting. Additional features include latch-and-link lap belts, GT350-branded rubber floor mats, and a pushbutton AM radio.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a 140-mph speedometer flanked by gauges monitoring fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 70k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added under current ownership. A 9k-rpm tachometer sits atop the dash.
The K-code 289ci HiPo V8 is equipped with a Paxton supercharger that was installed under previous ownership and feeds air through a Cobra-branded intake plenum and a four-barrel carburetor. The engine was overhauled by Kinetic Racing Engines of Westland, Michigan, in 2009, with work including machining of the block, cylinder heads, and connecting rods, magnafluxing the crankshaft, and replacement of the pistons, main and rod bearings, camshaft, valves, timing chain, oil pump, and water pump. A Griffin aluminum radiator and an updated cooling fan were added under previous ownership.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec five-speed manual transmission that was installed under previous ownership. The GT350’s suspension system features Koni shock absorbers all around as well as override rear traction bars and a larger front sway bar than the standard Mustang.
The Shelby American invoice to Larsen Ford is dated January 13, 1966, and lists the original shade of red as well as optional equipment including special wheels and a rear seat. Additional documents shown in the photo gallery below include the Shelby American order sheet, warranty paperwork, and a 2007 letter from Howard Pardee verifying that the car’s Ford serial number corresponds with its Shelby VIN.
