Description

This 1966 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350H is said to have been delivered new to Schwister Ford of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and underwent a cosmetic refurbishment before being purchased by the seller in 2017. The car is finished in black with gold stripes over black vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a replacement 289ci HiPo V8 that was rebuilt and over-bored by Ed Pink Racing Engines in 2020. Equipment includes a C4 three-speed automatic transmission, a four-barrel carburetor, power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, 17″ Shelby/American Racing wheels, a dual exhaust system, hood and bodyside scoops, driving lamps, a dash-mounted tachometer, a retro-style satellite radio, and latch-and-link front harnesses. This GT350H is offered with service records and a clean California title in the seller's name.

Approximately 1,000 GT350H examples were produced as part of a partnership between Ford and the Hertz car rental company. This example is finished in black with gold stripes and features a hood scoop, driving lamps, plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the quarter panels, and a chrome bullet-style side mirror.

The 17″ Halibrand-style Shelby/American Racing wheels feature faux three-eared knock-off hubs and are mounted with 225/45 Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires. A chrome-finished 14″ Magnum 500-style wheel with a Goodyear Blue Streak bias-ply tire is stowed in the trunk. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Replacement rear wheel cylinders and axle seals were installed by Galpin Auto Sports of Van Nuys, California, in 2020.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a folding rear bench trimmed in black vinyl along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Features include a heater, front latch-and-link harnesses, black rubber Mustang-branded front floor mats, and rear lap belts. A replacement black headliner and a Ford-branded satellite radio with an auxiliary input were installed in 2020. A competition brake warning sticker is affixed to the center of the dash.

The three-spoke steering wheel wears a Cobra GT350 badge and frames a 140-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and battery voltage. A Shelby-branded tach is mounted atop the dash. A replacement speedometer cable was installed in 2020. The five-digit odometer shows 6,300 miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added under the seller's ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 289ci HiPo V8 was rebuilt and bored .030″ over in 2020. Equipment includes finned valve covers and a four-barrel carburetor mounted on a high-rise aluminum intake manifold as well as an export brace and a crossbar. Corrosion is visible on the chrome air cleaner.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission.

Thank you for the nice comments and discussion.

I uploaded all the final prices Mecum has listed.

Onto the Arizona auctions next. 

Not assembly line correct from 1966.

Shelby Wheels did make 10 spokes in the 70's.  I can't tell who or when your wheel was made.

Here are some photos to help show the differences.  (I saved these from the first forum, I don't know who to give credit for making them, but they are very helpful).

As crazy as this sounds.....  A local friend bought one from Shelby Parts & Restoration last year and Jesse said the battery trays were the same as Corvairs. 

A quick google search found this.   https://www.opgi.com/ignition-electrical/charging-systems/battery-trays7/battery-tray-pastic-1965-69-corvair-cv10119.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhc-sBhCEARIsAOVwHuRsh-urQs8K8f2ZIfgzorWTQoQM6NBwUt2YrFqTCbEXh2g8olfn1AEaAjxGEALw_wcB



Very similar look and shape (granted they are reproductions and quality does vary).  It would be nice to find an NOS Corvair battery tray and compare it to a known original from a 1965 GT350. 

Same manufacturer probably supplied them to GM and SAI.  I don't see SAI calling GM for battery trays.

Photos are from Facebook.   They were posted yesterday on the 1967 Shelby Research Group.
