Description:

1966 Shelby GT 350

This 1966 Shelby GT-350 Fastback is the “LAST”Production 1st Generation Body Style“BUILT, SOLD and SHIPPED” by Shelby American, Inc.This car was purchased 12 years ago from the 2nd owner. It sat in his garage un-driven since the early 80’s. It has remained in the same “As Found” condition until the time of this listing in which exterior and interior have been carefully cleaned with soap and water to remove dust and dirt. The original exterior color from new is Sapphire Blue with Stripe delete. The 2nd owner painted it white. Exterior pictures show the overall rust free panels and lower rockers. Body is very solid with no rust through. Undercarriage pictures show some surface rust.
It retains the original factory installed Drivetrain including 289cu HiPo V8, 4 Spd Manual Transmission and Rear Axle. The black Vinyl Interior is original and in very good condition with no signs of wear. No attempt has been made to get the motor running to prevent damage to original drivetrain. However, a video showing the crank pulley turning easily by hand proves that motor is not locked.
All numbers have been verified by the Shelby Registry including the original Ford Vin # matching to this assigned Shelby Vin #. All Shelby Documents and copy of 2nd owner Title are included with the sale.
This Shelby was recently listed on another online auction in which reserve was not met. It was presented in its “AS FOUND” condition including all the dust and dirt. It did not meet the target reserve price set.
My concept on this sale is simple, the buyer gets to step into my shoes and buy what I found 12 years ago, the way I found it. The buyer gets to choose what they do to it, how they do it and where they have it done. The only difference with this listing and the previous listing is it’s cleaned up so that all the concerns over rust and corrosion can be put to rest.
Finally, Many ideas were discussed in comments during the last listing-Keep it like it is get it running and drive it. Cars and Coffee anyone????Take it to the major shows and enter it in the “Barn Found” category???? Restore it to its original glory????
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a significant car built by the iconic Carroll Shelby during the period he was in control of Shelby American. During the previous Auction, between the educated commenters and speculation of what this cars actual perceived value in the current “As Found” condition, was $500,000.00.That half million dollarvalue was based on the car prior to clean up this week which now confirms the overall outstanding condition of the metal.
