Thanks, no i only have put the car here as of now. I'm not aware of these other mustang forums or apps.

I put other pictures on this post.
If you wonder why i'm selling it : it's because of personal family problems and because I have to move out from my job so I cannot keep my car.

Hi everyone!
I put on Sale my GT350R tribute :

Hello all and thanks for your answers.
I googled my VIN but did not found any results so you found better intel than me

I will post pics as soon as I get back home for sure. I will post them here.
Thanks also for all the documentation that is in this forum !

Have a nice day,

Greetings everyone,

I'm Henri, a new member on this forum and happy to have found some useful information from the whole community. I live in France.
I'm owning a Mustang GT350R (and I don't know if it's a real deal or no). This is the post's reason.

I bought it to an old man who passed away, and his family do not find any more documents/history regarding the car. I'm calling the forum for help in identifying it if possible.
Long story short :
It's a 65 Fastback (VIN : 5F09A313508 // Data : 63A-X-26-11M-23-1-5). When I bought it, it had many original Shelby parts installed and some modified but still not new (my mechanics compared to a real GT350R and found the same parts, same wear) :
- fiberglass 65 R model apron
- duct for cooling brakes
- side 66 scoops (with ducts to brake as well)
- rear drum brakes (possibly fairlaine)
- quarter 66 plexiglass/perspex side windows
- stewart Warner period correct instrumentation and gauges
- hood rod and no more springs
- 4 koni shock absorbers
- period correct Shelby drop (for lowering A arms)
- fiberglass 66 dash pod gauge
- period correct competition belts and 4 points safety harness for driver (brand M&R from NOV95)
- radio block off plate (mounted near two switch)
- electrical fuel pump (linked to dash switch)
- battery mounted in trunk
- export brace and anti roll bar
- correct 65 R model roll cage
- traction bars
- dual side exhausts with glasspacks
- fiberglass rear shelf for spare tire


Before me buying it the family told me that when the old man bought it, the car came with a racing/drag setting :
- 351 competition prepared engine
- high capacity fia/sfi fuel tank with red metal case
- axle oil recuperator in the trunk
- vintage facet fuel pump
- exterior kill switch mounted on the rear right end (above the battery located in the trunk)
- competition clutch with red painted massive bellhousing
- GT350 '67 fiberglass hood (still on today)
- hurst shifter (still on today)
- rear axle ratio 4.11:1 (still on today)
- water radiator with small plastic expansion tank
- no carpets, no sound deadening and no heat insolation

It also have an old participant sticker of the Monterey Historic edition from 1997 (sticked to the roll cage driver side) with wear though.
There was also a Shelby SFM plate that came with the car but not attached to it, mainly damaged at more than 80% and can only read '6'.
There is also an original Cobra logo mounted on the front grille at the right (at the opposite of the mustang logo located on the left).

What I think it might be a 65 fastback bought at that time (according to VIN) and got shelbyfied with period correct parts, taking part into 97 Monterey edition, before ending to this old man in France who just put a 289 engine back in, and carpets/upholstery.
SO if you can help me finding some history on this car, old pictures or anything I'll be very grateful. Perhaps one of it previous owner is a member of this forum ! Perhaps one of you saw it on US events, that's why I listed parts and everything I know.
I thank you all in advance for helping me and hope you all do well.

Best regards,
Henri
