INTRODUCTION: Highly documented, VIN #s matching motor! Concours restored to factory condition and the judging sheets are included, it scored 655 points out of 661! There were only 789 Shelbys total in 1970, of those only 117 were GT350s with an automatic and only 87 were in these colors. Factor in air conditioning and how many survived- this is an extremely rare car! Documented with original invoice, order report, concours judging sheets, Marti Report and it is listed in the Shelby Registry.
EXTERIOR: The Shelby styling changes truly separated itself from the Mustangs. Distinctive fiberglass features were on everything except the roof and the doors! Upfront a wide open grill and a hood with 5 air ducts feed as much air as possible to the 351. The extended front fenders, dovetail trunk and quarter panel scoops are also fiberglass and add to the good looks of this car. Upfront features correct Lucas fog lamps and in back is a set of sequential taillights borrowed from the 65 Thunderbird. The body is in excellent shape on this one, no rust and it fits nicely. Repainted its original beautiful Candy Apple Red which is polished smooth and glossy. The chrome, weatherstrips and glass look great. It's also sitting on Shelby wheels, has Shelby emblems and the unique Shelby exhaust port.
INTERIOR: Shelby's upgrades werent just limited to the exterior, there's plenty inside too! The deluxe interior is in great shape from carpet to headliner. The most notable Shelby feature is the roll bar with shoulder harnesses, actually all the seatbelts have Shelby logos. The consoles were also upgraded with a padded armrest, toggle switches and gauges. Shelby logos are throughout including on the wood shift handle. This one also features a factory tachometer, fold down rear seat, tilt away wheel and red mats sewn into the carpet. The radio is upgraded to a retro stereo that looks original with factory style door speakers.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is where the car really separates itself from the others, aside from having power steering, power brakes and factory air conditioning it has its actual VIN number matching motor! So many times people say they have the original motor and when it comes down to it they don't. This one has the VIN number stamped on the back of the engine below the head that matches the car. The entire engine compartment is restored and detailed. On top of the 351 is the complete ram air system including the heat riser tube. It's correct down to the details: cloth wrapped choke tube, reproduction hose clamps and stickers, Ford washer fluid bottle, Autolite breather cap, reproduction plug wires and more. A correct Autolite battery is even included for show purposes. All the finishes are proper, smooth and neatly applied.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is clean and complete, everything's painted real nice in red. It is finished off with reproduction stickers, weatherstrip and trunk mat. The original collapsible spare and jack assembly is included along with a working trunk light.
UNDERSIDE: At the time of restoration everything under the car was rebuilt, restored and detailed to original condition. The floors, frame rails, inner rockers all appear to be clean metal painted a clean semi gloss finish. It even has the little rubber drain grommets in the lower 1/4s. The steering and Competition suspension with Shelby shocks was completely gone through, so were the brakes. It has discs up front, drum in back and the e-brake is all hooked up. It has a correct exhaust system with crossover pipe, resonators, transverse muffler and the unique Shelby manifold that goes out through the center of the valence. The fuel system was redone. Looking up at the motor it is clean, the components look proper. It has its original FMXautomatic transmission, the tag is still attached. The properly detailed driveshaft goes back to the original rear end with 3.00 locker gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.
CONCLUSION: This Shelby checks all the boxes! Whether you're in it for the hobby or your a purebred collector this is the car to have. It's documented, judged, numbers matching and yet it's beautiful and full of very desirable features. Interest in Shelby's are as strong as ever, it's a great investment you will enjoy!
