The Shelby GT 350 being offered has been beautifully restored and is presented in Wimbledon White, as when new, per the Shelby American Automobile Club Shelby Registry 4th Edition. The Shelby Mustang is reported by this same reliable source as coming from the factory with the Le Mans stripes, four-speed transmission, fiberglass with steel-framed hood, override traction bars, no package shelf and 10-spoke Shelby alloy wheels. This car also bears the distinction of having Weber carburetors and is noted in the Registry first being seen with this setup in 1989.
The Shelby is first recorded as being leased to Rex Sermon who had the distinction of reporting the tachometer stolen on February 9, 1966 and later returned the car on May 26, 1966. It was next leased to Mr. Floyd J. Wheeler of Shelby American in Los Angeles on August 17, 1966 as a company car. A Cobra accelerometer was installed for dealer showing during this period with approximately 10,000 miles displayed. After brake repair at Hi-Performance Motors in Los Angeles in April 1967, the Shelby was shipped to Courtesy Motors, Inc. in Littleton, Colorado as a used unit; they were invoiced $2,000. Additional owners are listed from the early 1980s to 2008 and during this time, it is noted that the car was featured in Mustang Monthly in January 1995 with “American wheels” - it now sports the fabulous 10-spoke Shelby wheels. It also comes with a massive list of service records, receipts and documentation. This is a very rare Shelby for a great price!
