This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350H is finished in black with gold stripes over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 289ci HiPo V8 linked to a C4 three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a four-barrel carburetor, a dual exhaust system, hood and side scoops, ten-spoke 14″ alloy wheels, front disc brakes, a dash-mounted tachometer, CS Impact latch-and-link harnesses, and a push-button AM radio. The selling dealer acquired the car in July 2023, and subsequent work reportedly involved replacing the bumpers and exterior trim along with overhauling the transmission and brake system. This GT350H is now offered at no reserve in Connecticut with an SAAC serial number verification document and Georgia registration.
Approximately 1,000 GT350H examples were produced as part of a partnership between Ford and the Hertz car rental company. This example is said to have been repainted in black with gold stripes under prior ownership, and details include a hood scoop, plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the rear fenders, and a bullet-style side mirror. The bumpers and exterior trim were reportedly replaced in preparation for the sale.
Silver 14″ ten-spoke alloy wheels were optional for the GT350 in 1966 and wear 205/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, while a full-size spare is mounted in the trunk. Shelby chassis modifications included revised front suspension geometry, Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes, and larger rear brake drums when compared to the contemporary standard Mustang. The selling dealer states that the brake system was overhauled in 2023.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl and accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes CS Impact latch-and-link harnesses for the front occupants, manually operated side windows, GT350-branded rubber floor mats, and a push-button AM radio.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel wears a GT350 badge and fronts a 140-mph speedometer as well as auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. A Cobra-branded tachometer is mounted atop the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 95k miles, approximately 100 of which were added by the selling dealer. Total mileage is unknown.
The 289ci HiPo V8 is fed via an Autolite four-barrel carburetor mounted on a high-rise aluminum intake manifold and was factory rated at 306 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque in Shelby trim.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission that is said to have been overhauled under current ownership.
Shelby American Automobile Club correspondence indicates that serial number SFM6S1937 aligns with a Shelby GT350 serial number recorded in their files.
The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for vehicles of its age. It is being sold on its Georgia registration.

Does anyone know if #1937 still carries its original (born with) 289?

Some of those Big Time Buyers have also been known to be Lottery Winners which gave a lot of Sellers false hope on what their Cars are actually worth.

Not in many cases. For allot of these buyers it does not mean one less buyer as they have more to buy more in those cases. Purchasing their other 25 or 50 cars didn't take them out of the market.
Yes, "The Market has spoken" and, IMHO, this particular car was won at a reasonable price. It was missing a few very rare and expensive parts but it's a good, "local show"/driver quality car. Greater attention to details would've yielded a higher price.

Not only is your first sentence has no real substance to it rooted in fact(See Speegle's post above) your second sentence is why so many dislike you on the forum.

I concur. FL SAAC is hoping that the entire collector car market will tank to the point that he'll be able to purchase a '66 GT350 for $80K. Sadly, for him, it ain't gonna happen. Those days are long gone, never to return. His best bet is to find a good, solid K-Code fastback and work his way up the food chain like so many of us did in years gone by.

That was an 80K offer in last years (or however long ago) market. If the market did drop significantly maybe his offer would now be 60K

Parts of the market, like the GM intermediates like the GTO have shown weakening but other segments continue to show strength and growth.
Shelby's are still appreciating. Pantera's are as well.
I have seen no "fire sales" on them. Replica Cobras are stable but showing no appreciating at all.
"Correct original parts" are appreciating even more then the cars are and in some cases up much more then 100% from this time last year. Maybe 2 or 300%?
In some cases long term restoration projects bought really cheap are getting priced out of the market entirely. Someone "restoring" say a '67 Mustang can't compete with someone restoring a "67 Shelby" even though it may be the same part.
I still need a couple of '67 parts and on occasion even when one comes up, I can't afford it. No one will show you any mercy there simply because next year the price will be even higher then now.
The fact of the matter is that there are always people convinced that they can find a secret place somewhere where gasolene is only $1 a gallon. Maybe the same person that still thinks he can find a real Cobra for $5,000 somewhere no one else knows of? At this point, that is irrational.
Those people will always be around and frankly their searches MOSTLY keep them busy and out of everyone else's hair.
They are annoying like hornets at a lawn party but no one takes them seriously.
It is sad that we HERE still have to read one's ridiculous Captain Dave type posts that all they contribute to are the scattering away from newbies and even the old guard. That is a shame.
It really is a special type of anarchy that is a group self destruction thing.
Blocking them for the common good here should seriously be considered. The Moderator here should seriously consider the overwhelming views of the group in this case.
In the past, that simply has not happened. I personally do not hold out any hope things will change in that regards. Too bad. This was a fun place to frequent at one time.
Still think this was one solid GTH
