The Shelby GT350 is a 1968 limited edition Ford Mustang. In total, only 404 of these convertibles were built with a 4.9-liter 250-horsepower V8.
A rare 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 was found in the USA. The iconic sports car hasn’t been on the road for nearly 40 years. A video dedicated to the discovery was published on the Auto Archeology Youtube channel.
The Shelby GT350 is a rare charged version of the Ford Mustang, modified by the famous American racer and designer Carroll Shelby. Only 1,664 of these cars were produced in 1968, of which only 404 were convertibles. Now the price of the Shelby GT350 could exceed $100,000.
The car is equipped with a 4.9-liter 250-horsepower V8 and a 3-speed automatic transmission. It has the ability to accelerate to 100 km / h in about 8 seconds and has reached a speed of 200 km / h. Shelby also completed the chassis of the car.
This particular car belonged to an American collector. In the early ’80s he bought a more powerful Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR convertible and chose to drive it, while the Shelby GT350 sat in the garage for years.
After the death of the owner, his daughter decided to sell the car. The Shelby GT350 is covered in a layer of dust and dirt, but overall it is well preserved and complete. The run is only 38 thousand km. The car has already found a buyer to put it in order.
