Here is a photo of a blue 1966 GT350H I recently saw on the "Mustang Heritage" page on Facebook. - https://www.facebook.com/MustangHeritage



Caption with the photo is: "Jan Kyrre Lund - Sunnmøringer on a ski trip in the late 1960s. Guess it's on the way down from Strynefjellet (in Norway). Yes, the car has American plates, belonged to someone who had emigrated from the United States. Photo: Courtesy of Jan Kyrre Lund"

Notice the Washington license plate.  When it was just a....car.  I figured the WASAAC guys would enjoy this one.   :)

This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 was shipped to the Downey Auto Center of Downey, California, on October 19, 1966. It has been refinished in red with white stripes over a reupholstered black vinyl interior and is powered by a Shelby-modified 289ci HiPo V8 paired with a replacement four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes front disc brakes, optional 10-spoke alloy wheels, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a cast aluminum high-rise intake manifold, a steel-reinforced fiberglass hood, a wood-rim F.I.V. Secura steering wheel, a Sport Deck rear seat, and a dual exhaust system with an H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. This GT350 was acquired by the seller in 2005 and is now offered with the removed transmission, copies of Shelby American documents, a Shelby American Automobile Club serial number verification letter, a 1967 service record, and a clean California title in the seller's name.

The car left the factory finished in white with optional stripes and was repainted in red with white Le Mans stripes and GT350 side stripes during the 1990s. Exterior details include a steel-reinforced fiberglass hood with a center scoop as well as a driver-side mirror, functional brake-cooling side scoops, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, and chrome bumpers with rear bumperettes.

Exterior details include a steel-reinforced fiberglass hood with a center scoop as well as a driver-side mirror, functional brake-cooling side scoops, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, and chrome bumpers with rear bumperettes.

Interior details include front latch-and-link lap belts, rear lap belts, a heater/defroster, a locking glovebox, and a Kenwood cassette receiver.

A wood-rim F.I.V Secura steering wheel with a GT350 center cap fronts a 140-mph speedometer flanked by fuel-level, oil-pressure, charging, and coolant-temperature gauges. A Cobra-branded 9k-rpm tachometer with an adjustable redline is center-mounted atop the dash, and Ford Motorsport oil-pressure and coolant-temperature gauges are set below the ventilation controls on the bottom edge of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 9k miles, approximately 4,500 of which were driven by the seller. True mileage is unknown.

The underside of the trunk lid bears a Carroll Shelby autograph dated April 6, 1991.

The Shelby-modified 289ci HiPo V8 is equipped with a cast aluminum high-rise intake manifold topped by a Holley four-barrel carburetor and a chrome open-element air cleaner as well as a baffled aluminum oil pan and ribbed aluminum valve covers. Long-tube headers flow into a dual exhaust system equipped with an H-pipe and Magnaflow mufflers. Advertised output was 306 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a 9″ rear axle.

A copy of the Shelby American invoice to the Downey Auto Center, in Downey, California, is dated October 19, 1966, and lists the paint color along with optional alloy wheels, Rallye stripes, and rear seat at an additional cost of $304 for a total price of $3,902.75.

The car is accompanied by the removed Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed manual transmission as well as copies of Shelby American documents, a Shelby American Automobile Club serial number verification letter, a 1967 service record.

Auction Description:
This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 was initially delivered to McCafferty Ford in New Jersey, and it was reportedly optioned with chrome-plated 14″ Magnum wheels and without a radio or over-the-top stripes. It is powered by a 289ci HiPo V8 that was rebuilt in October 2024 and fitted with a Holley carburetor and tri-Y headers, and power is routed through a four-speed manual transmission and a locking differential with 4.10:1 gears. The exterior is finished in Rangoon Red and features a fiberglass hood, GT350 side stripes, and side scoops, while the cabin is outfitted with a Hurst shifter, a Cobra-branded tachometer, and front bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl. Acquired by the selling dealer in August 2024, this GT350 is offered in Texas with a Shelby American Automobile Club certificate, the owner's manual, service records from the 1960s, and a clean New Jersey title.

The car is finished in Rangoon Red (J) and was optioned without over-the-top stripes. Exterior details include a fiberglass hood, GT350 side stripes, hood pins, Talbot Berlin-style side mirrors, side scoops, and chrome bumpers. The seller states the driver's door was refinished under prior ownership. Rust is noted in the passenger wheelhouse and on the edge of the driver's rear quarter panel. Paint meter readings are captured in the overview video below.

Chrome-plated 14″ Magnum wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires, and a full-size spare is stowed in the trunk. GT350s were factory-equipped with Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes as well as larger rear drums than standard Mustangs. The seller states the tires were replaced and the braking system was overhauled in preparation for the sale.

The low-back bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and the car is said to have been ordered without a radio. The cabin is equipped with a Hurst shifter, rear seat lap belts, and a heater.

The simulated wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer flanked by an ammeter as well as fuel-level, oil-pressure, and coolant-temperature gauges. A Cobra-branded 9k-rpm tachometer is center-mounted atop the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 62k miles, and only break-in miles were reportedly added since the engine was rebuilt.

The replacement 289ci HiPo V8 was rebuilt and balanced in October 2024, and it breathes through a Holley four-barrel carburetor and tri-Y headers.

Photos of drivetrain stamps are provided in the gallery.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a locking rear differential with 4.10:1 gears. The transmission was resealed and the exhaust system was replaced in preparation for the sale.

Documentation from the Shelby American Automobile Club is shown above. An owner's manual and service records dating to the 1960s are included in the sale.

Description:
This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 was ordered on November 18, 1965, and initially delivered to Dub Richardson Ford in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It would spend most of its time in Texas and Oklahoma before it was eventually acquired by the selling dealer in 2024. Finished in white with optional Le Mans stripes, the car was also specified with optional folding rear seats. Power is provided by a 289ci HiPo V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes side-exit exhaust outlets, power-assisted front disc brakes, 10-spoke alloy wheels, a push-button AM radio, and a heater. This GT350 is now offered in California with a copy of the original invoice, a copy of the SAAC registry entry, a Shelby Auto American Club document, and a clean Texas title.

A repaint was reportedly performed in the early 1970s, and the car is finished in white with blue Le Mans stripes and GT350 side stripes. Exterior details include hood pins, a driver-side mirror, side-exit exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers.

The 10-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. GT350s were factory-equipped with Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes as well as larger rear drums than standard Mustangs.

The low-back bucket seats and optional folding rear seats are trimmed in black vinyl. The cabin is outfitted with Ray Brown Automotive lap belts, a push-button AM radio, and a heater.

Instrumentation includes a 140-mph speedometer flanked by an ammeter and readouts for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. A Cobra-branded 9k-rpm tachometer is center-mounted atop the dash. Separation on the woodgrain steering wheel is depicted in the gallery. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles, a handful of which were added under current ownership.

Shelby modified the 289ci HiPo V8 with a cast-aluminum high-rise intake manifold for the four-barrel Holley carburetor as well as headers, a baffled aluminum oil pan, and cast-aluminum valve covers. Advertised output was 306 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque.

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

A copy of the invoice from Shelby American shows that the car was initially delivered to Dub Richardson Ford in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and lists additional charges for stripes and rear seats for a total price of $3,705.75.

Description:

1966 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 Coupé
Chassis no. SFM 6 S 775 (Shelby)
• Desirable Ivy Green from new
• Believed personally owned by John Wyer
• Professionally restored under the supervision of marque specialist and famous racing driver, the late Claude Dubois
• Believed only three owners from new
• HiPo (K-Code) 289ci V8 engine, four-speed manual transmission
• Extensively documented
• Belgian registration document

This Shelby GT350 was delivered new in 1966 to John Wyer's 'Ford Advanced Vehicles' in Slough, UK - where the Ford GT40 was developed - and is believed to have been personally owned by him.
Although this car is a 1966 model, produced in 1966, it seems it was only registered in 1967 and therefore is titled as 1967. A copy of the original purchase invoice from Shelby American Inc accompanies the car and confirms it was delivered in the desirable Ivy Green livery, with the only option listed being 'rear seats' priced at $37. The total price new was $3,637.

Around 1973 John Wyer sold the Shelby to Paris where the car was owned by a Parisian car mechanic with Greek roots. His grandson, from Sofia, sold the car to the current Belgian owner with the help of the late Claude Dubois. A friend of our vendor, Claude Dubois was a well-known Belgian racer; former Shelby importer for Belgium; European ambassador for the Shelby American Automobile Club; an acknowledged marque authority; and personal friend of Carroll Shelby. Claude found this example for the vendor and supervised its complete restoration, which commenced in 2015 and took three years to complete. It is important to note that the car was in pretty good shape, very solid with no extensive corrosion, prior to the restoration. Coincidentally, the only demonstrator for Belgium during the mid/late 1960s with Claude Dubois was an identical Ivy Green example - arguably the best colour for the car - another reason the current Belgian owner had to buy this one.

Refurbishment of the bodywork and paint was done by the well-known Carrosserie Janssens in Braine l'Alleud, Belgium, while the mechanical restoration was carried out by marque specialist Miguel Vanluchene, also in Belgium. A most fastidious collector, the owner was determined to keep the car as original as possible. To that end the lovely original interior was nearly 100% retained; although the underside of the driver's seat had to be re-upholstered in view of a tear and some of the carpeting has been renewed, the cabin remains and feels incredibly original. During the restoration an original HiPo Code K engine, with correct casting numbers, etc was reinstalled, and the car also retains its extremely rare original Magnum 500 wheels. This no-expense-spared restoration ended up costing €188,000, including the cost of the car. Detailed invoices for all the work carried out are available and the car also comes with the following:

• Belgian registration documents
• A copy of the old French Carte Grise in the name of Yanis Tchernas, 1973
• An old photograph of the second owner with his Shelby in Paris in the 1970s
• A copy of the original sales invoice to Ford Advanced Vehicles
• Assorted correspondence
• A book dedicated to the history of this specific Shelby GT350

We have had the opportunity to drive this exceptional Shelby GT350 upon a short test drive and can comment that it performs very well. The torquey engine, gearbox, clutch, steering, brakes, suspension, all performed very well and the car feels incredibly well-balanced.

A model extremely rare in Europe, this Shelby GT350 is presented in stunning condition following professional restoration by the best in the business, overseen by Claude Dubois, and is worthy of the closest inspection.

Description:

This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 was ordered on January 20, 1966, with initial delivery to Young Motor Company of Charlotte, North Carolina. It was specified in Sapphire Blue with optional 14″ alloy wheels and rear seats, and its first owner took delivery in May 1966. Between 2012 and 2015 a bare-metal restoration was commissioned, which included disassembly, acid dipping, and repainting of the body, retrimming the black interior, and a mechanical overhaul with a rebuild of the 289ci HiPo V8. It was then exported to the UK and spent a number of years there before additional work was performed in 2021, which consisted of rebuilding the Holley carburetor and installing unused factory rear drum brake components along with an upgraded bias valve. The current owner acquired the car in 2022 following its re-importation to the US. This GT350 is now offered in Scottsdale, Arizona on dealer consignment with a copy of the original invoice, service records, and a clean Texas title.

Between 2012 and 2015, the car was disassembled, the body was acid-dipped, metal work was performed, and it was then repainted its factory shade of Sapphire Blue. It has a steel-framed hood with a scoop and pins as well as white side stripes, side scoops, and dual mirrors.

The car was ordered with optional 14″ 10-spoke alloys, and the BFGoodrich tires measure 205/70. GT350s were factory-equipped with Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes as well as larger rear drums than standard Mustangs, and the suspension geometry was reworked with lowered inner pivots of the front control arms, heavy-duty springs, Koni shocks, override traction bars, and rear torque-control arms. The rear drums were reportedly replaced with unused factory components around 2021, at which time an upgraded brake-bias valve was fitted.

The car was ordered with optional rear seats, and GT350s were equipped with competition belts from the factory. The interior was reupholstered during the aforementioned restoration, and in 2021 the dashboard dimmer was replaced with an unused factory component and the lap belts were refurbished.

The steering wheel has a GT-350-logo center cap and frames a 140-mph speedometer flanked by an ammeter as well as fuel-level, oil-pressure, and coolant-temperature gauges. A Cobra-logo 9k-rpm tachometer is center-mounted atop the dashboard. The five-digit odometer was reset at the time of the restoration, and the 6k miles shown represents the mileage accrued since that time. Total mileage is unknown.

Shelby modified with 289ci HiPo V8 with a cast-aluminum high-rise intake manifold for the four-barrel Holley carburetor as well as headers, a baffled aluminum oil pan, and cast-aluminum valve covers. Advertised output was 306 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt as part of the 2012-2015 restoration, and in 2021 the carburetor was overhauled, ignition components were changed, and fluids were replaced. Photos of stampings are provided in the image gallery below.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.

Copies of the original invoice to Young Motor Car list equipment a total of $3880.75.

April 2012 SAAC correspondence is included in the sale.

A description of the 2012-2015 restoration work is further shown in the gallery.

Shelby literature, memorabilia, a copy of the 1966 Shelby Registry, and a period road test are also included.

I have an extra C6 transmission here and I am not sure if it is for a GT500 or standard passenger car.

The tag on this particular transmission reads PGB-A with an E servo (see attached photo).  From my research PGB-A is for 1967 with 428 but doesn't specify GT500 or standard passenger car.  It has an all aluminum case and tail housing, I cannot find a partial Ford VIN anywhere on the transmission. 

I may be getting 1968 & 1969 confused with 1967.  I know iron tail housings and R servos were common on Cobra Jets in 68 & 69; but I don't know what was done in 1967.

Can someone help me figure out what I have?   Thank you.
