1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H Tribute

Description

We all know the legend of the 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H. They were true weekend racers that could be rented on a Friday, take home trophies on Saturday, and then returned on a Sunday. This fastback has been built as an accurate tribute to those Hertz cars on the outside. But underneath the skin is a performance-built V8 heart, five-speed, and an upgraded suspension. It's such a worthy tribute that Carroll Shelby even signed it.

You know from looking around at Mustangs that the 2+2 fastback holds its value the best. After all, it was the style that looked like it had the most gallop in all of the pony car crowd, and it was the only one Carroll Shelby used to debut the GT350. Speaking of the Shelby Mustang, we know you've definitely noticed the upgrade to the snake-bitten hood with hood pins and the scoop. This was all part of a package that happened during a restoration where the black paint and gold stripe livery of the "H" Hertz cars were laid down with a very professional hand. Today it still keeps a good gloss and a quality shine. And they took the time to get more than just the paint right. With details like the side scoops, badging, and even the emblems on the front and rear, it is a great tribute vehicle. In-between the triple rocker decal stripe are the classic Mag 500 wheels, and the cool Hertz center caps are another fun detail that makes this look like it's ready to be rented out for weekend fun.

This special feeling continues inside. A pristine black interior is always desirable in a classic, the seats, door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dash all have the look and feel of quality. There are great details, like the GT350 floor mats, folding-down rear seat, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and working courtesy lights. But even as nice as all this is, you're really going to be focused on the glovebox. Carroll Shelby's signature is a part of this car, making it a truly worthy tribute. The thin three-spoke steering wheel goes in your left hand, the shifter goes in your right, and you look out at the full round gauge panel - this is real classic motoring. But as you count the gears on the stick shift and look at the Cobra tach on the dash, you get the feeling that there is something extra special under the hood.

A casual glance in the engine bay will show you some Shelby-correct pieces like the Monte Carlo bar, Cobra valve covers, and matching long air grabber. But you might want to look deeper for the full performance picture. For starters, this is a 347 cubic-inch stroker motor, which is larger than any GT350H ever had. It even includes performance upgrades like a Demon four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, MSD pro billet distributor, Ford Racing plug wires, and long tube headers feeding into an H-pipe dual exhaust w/Flowmasters. This added performance is utilized to the fullest thanks to the addition of a five-speed manual transmission. In fact, you can truly be a weekend warrior with this coupe thanks to upgrades like the subframe connectors, rear sway bar, power steering, and front disc brakes.
