1966 Mustang Convertible Shelby GT350

1966 Ford Mustang Description

This is a beautiful 1966 Mustang GT350 tribute to Shelby's creation.
A bit of history....Convertible Shelby Mustangs didn't hit the scene until '68 - in production form, that is. However, four legit G.T. 350 convertibles were made for 1966 per the 2011 Shelby Registry from the Shelby American Automobile Club. Whether you call them test cars, prototypes, or styling exercises, the crux is that they certainly weren't available to the general public. In the case of the '66s, the SAAC Registry details how these were the last four cars(once thought to be six)ordered by Shelby American at the end of the model year. At least three were destined for use within Shelby and Ford as test vehicles while one other was sold toBob Shane of the popular singing group, The Kingston Trio. Later, between 1980-82, Shelby built 12 more convertibles as a continuation of the 1966 GT350 production line.
This 1966 Mustang GT350 tribute started as a extremelyclean '66 convertible and has been transformed into the Honey Gold Shelby beauty. Underneath the car is very nice - finished in all black as is the rear axle. It offers upgraded front disk brakes, a 66 date correct 289 4 barrel Shelby dressed with less then 5k miles on the motor with c4 auto trans connected to a 8" rear (new throw bearings just installed). Off the motor are headers and dual exhaust (less then 1000 miles) with chrome tips through the rear valance. It sounds like a nice driver mustang... not loud or obnoxious but elegantand throaty... perfect for a Sunday drive or your local parades. It's also been used in modeling shoots and such.
I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT RUNNING BUT EBAY WON'T ALLOW ME TO POST IT WITHIN THIS ADD SO PLEASE ONTACT ME AND I WILL PROVIDE.
All the chrome is very nice and the door glass is in great condition. The windshield has a repaired place on it where a stone hit it... not bad, less then a dime, but it's there. There are a few blemishes that can be touched up... when the car was painted the trunk wasn't lined up at the top so when it was shut it pinched and some paint chipped off but can be easily touched up (see pic). The BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires are nice with Shelby style wheels and caps (note: I just replaced the style steel wheels - in some pics - with Shelby style wheels to finish the Shelby decor - in other words, you will get the Shelby wheels NOT the style steel version) The top, rarely put up as the car is always garaged, is in good condition and has the rear plastic style window - top is white. It has not been replaced in many years but usable with no rips or tears. It has the interior matching convertible tonneau cover - a couple snaps need replaced if desired. The Shelby stripes run through the hood and trunk was painted and cleared on top however the side stripes where the standard vinyl GT350 strip kits - all in like new condition. Shelby badging all around, gas cap, Shelby VIN badging, etc. and a new cobra style steering wheel.
The interior is in great condition, the door panels are very nice and offer the cool pistol grip handles, seats and dash all near perfect. The interior offers the woodgrain styling through the dash and console (the woodgrain tape is starting to peel up but easily glued or replaced as they make a console kit for these). The radio is a correct fit classic fit Mustang radio but is a old style tape deck - functional... but not Bluetooth or the like. Could use newer front (driver side) floor mat. The dash gauges are an upgraded white cluster... the gas gauge needs adjusted as it's off but works.
It's not been driven much in the last couple years and it could use a good wax and buff... it's a really nice car... Much money has been put into this car over the years as you can imagine and you couldn't build it for my reserve price.
Clean Virginia title. I have transport contacts and may be able to assist with the handling of the transport. Cost of transport is on the buyer of course.
I may be interested in partial trades... Let me know what you have.... AMX, other fastback mustangs, fastback projects, cool trucks....
Please have the money, any permission you need to buy this before bidding... please... as it is just a waste of time. This was sold about two weeks ago to a buyer that goes by "Lexcyny." He played games, made plans to drive up to purchase the vehicle, never paid a deposit and said he wouldn't pay anything until inspecting the vehicle which I reluctantly accepted... he text me the next day that he was pulling out of the deal... fine, his loss, I put in for a cancellation to eBay. The buyer has up to 10 days to acknowledge the cancellation and must do so before I can re-list the vehicle and not be charged again for the re-list. I contacted "Lexcyny" twice and he responded in text saying he would... this never happened. If you are the "Lexcyny" type, please don't bid on this beautiful mustang.
I can assist with International sales as well. I also accept credit cards, partial or complete payment but would need an additional 4% to cover transactional costs from the credit card transactional company I use.
Note - I have a mix of pictures from over the years as this has been in my collection for about 10 years. To clarify, it comes with the Shelby style wheels and the Shelby steering wheel... these have been added recently and pull the whole Shelby theme together... and not cheap!
Contact me with questions and I'm quick to answer.
