The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1967, and from 1968 to 1970 by Ford.
All 1965 GT350s were painted in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue rocker stripes.
Very few GT350s were delivered to the dealer with the optional Le Mans (or LeMans) top stripes, which run the length of the entire car.
Approximately 28% of the 562 1965 cars built had Le Mans stripes.
Dealers often added the stripes, probably at the customer's request.
Today, it is difficult to find a GT350 not so equipped.
Many ERT 1965 cars had the battery relocated to the trunk, which was changed mid-year from complaints of fumes, and had over-rider traction bars, relocated A-arms, as well as other modifications.
Over-rider traction bars are so named because of their design being on top of the leaf spring as opposed to underneath them.
There was only one transmission available, a 4-speed Borg-Warner T10 manual.
The exhaust system in the 1965 GT350 was a side-exit dual exhaust with glasspack mufflers.
For this one year, the GT350 also had special 130 mph (210 km/h)-rated Goodyear Blue Dot tires, named for the prominent blue dot on each sidewall.
The 1965 GT350 had a full size spare tire mounted in place of rear seats, making it a 2-seat-only vehicle (to be allowed to race under SCCA regulations as a sports car), and rode on either silver-painted steel wheels or special cast-magnesium center Cragar Shelby 15 rims with chromed center caps marked with a stylized CS.
Total 1965 model year production was 562 units.
For 1966, the GT350 lost its Mustang tag and was marketed simply as the Shelby GT350.
8 #fn8 The new model year also saw the introduction of non-white colors, including blue, red, green, and black.
Other changes included special rear quarter-panel windows replacing the factory extractor vents, functional brake scoops on each side, and optional SelectShift 3-speed automatic, as well as an optional Paxton supercharger.
The battery was no longer relocated to the trunk for 1966, and the over-rider traction bars were discontinued.
The normal factory fold-down rear seat was optional.
While early 1965 cars had black engine blocks, 1966 and later cars had their engines painted the regular factory Ford dark blue.
The 1966 models came with a dual-exhaust exiting in the rear.
The first 252 GT350s for 1966 began as 1965 Mustang K-Code Fastbacks.
These cars were specifically ordered by Shelby American for conversion into 1966 GT350s.
Upon delivery to Shelby-American, the cars were randomly picked for conversion.
The Shelby VINs do not correspond in numerical order with Ford VINs.
The Ford VINs were shipped in 'blocks,' but many differ significantly because of the order that they were selected for conversion.
Total production for 1966 was 1,373 fastbacks, including two prototypes and four drag cars, and the 252 early production models with Ford Mustang 1965 bodies.
In order to help Shelby sales, Ford, the major shareholder of Hertz, persuaded the rental car giant to purchase 1,003 fastbacks, including two prototypes.
Four experimental GT350 convertibles were also built for test purposes in anticipation of a 1967-1/2 convertible9 #fn9 offering, bringing total production to 2,378 units for 1966.
A small number of the 1966 models were fitted from the factory with Paxton superchargers, but not the No-Spin limited slip differential; with an option price of $670, the engine was rated at 440HP.
