Be sure to do your research before bidding.

It is hard to tell, but the rotor dust shield looks something similar to what was on the Lincoln Versailles.

Auction Description:
This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 was initially delivered to McCafferty Ford in New Jersey, and it was reportedly optioned with chrome-plated 14″ Magnum wheels and without a radio or over-the-top stripes. It is powered by a 289ci HiPo V8 that was rebuilt in October 2024 and fitted with a Holley carburetor and tri-Y headers, and power is routed through a four-speed manual transmission and a locking differential with 4.10:1 gears. The exterior is finished in Rangoon Red and features a fiberglass hood, GT350 side stripes, and side scoops, while the cabin is outfitted with a Hurst shifter, a Cobra-branded tachometer, and front bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl. Acquired by the selling dealer in August 2024, this GT350 is offered in Texas with a Shelby American Automobile Club certificate, the owner's manual, service records from the 1960s, and a clean New Jersey title.

The car is finished in Rangoon Red (J) and was optioned without over-the-top stripes. Exterior details include a fiberglass hood, GT350 side stripes, hood pins, Talbot Berlin-style side mirrors, side scoops, and chrome bumpers. The seller states the driver's door was refinished under prior ownership. Rust is noted in the passenger wheelhouse and on the edge of the driver's rear quarter panel. Paint meter readings are captured in the overview video below.

Chrome-plated 14″ Magnum wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires, and a full-size spare is stowed in the trunk. GT350s were factory-equipped with Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes as well as larger rear drums than standard Mustangs. The seller states the tires were replaced and the braking system was overhauled in preparation for the sale.

The low-back bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and the car is said to have been ordered without a radio. The cabin is equipped with a Hurst shifter, rear seat lap belts, and a heater.

The simulated wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer flanked by an ammeter as well as fuel-level, oil-pressure, and coolant-temperature gauges. A Cobra-branded 9k-rpm tachometer is center-mounted atop the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 62k miles, and only break-in miles were reportedly added since the engine was rebuilt.

The replacement 289ci HiPo V8 was rebuilt and balanced in October 2024, and it breathes through a Holley four-barrel carburetor and tri-Y headers.

Photos of drivetrain stamps are provided in the gallery.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a locking rear differential with 4.10:1 gears. The transmission was resealed and the exhaust system was replaced in preparation for the sale.

Documentation from the Shelby American Automobile Club is shown above. An owner's manual and service records dating to the 1960s are included in the sale.

Hi Brian, Nice work.  Who did you have to pay off to film with no people.  Or was everyone at dinner.

Thanks for sharing.

Cory

Thank you.

Get up early...  6:00 AM (so really 3:00 AM for me being from the west coast  ). 

I posted a video to Youtube of the cars in the Exhibition Hall at Fench Lick this year.

It was a great show and a lot of fun.  It was a fun time with friends and great cars.  If you haven't been, you need to go.
