1965 SHELBY GT350 REPLICA - FULLY RESTORED (This car may go to Mecum Auction In Austin,TX, If not sold here - Highest eBay bid was $39,750.00 before relisting) The 1965 Shelby GT350s were said to near race cars. Later Shelbys added more features, but the '65 stood out and made the world take notice. The rare GT350Rs dominated their B/P racing classes. This car is no exception to the original intent of those '65 Shelbys. Originally a Wimbledon White 4-speed C-code with Black interior, it was a perfect candidate for Shelby conversion. Now an excellent Shelby GT350 replica, but not just a regular Mustang Fastback with Shelby stripes. Turn the key and this car roars, revs and lights the tires!! Paste link if you would like to see & hear video of engine revving: http://youtu.be/cbp-DgtSgDQ Over $50,000 invested - I was always adding/improving this car: Fully stripped and rotisserie restored - solid metal throughout & red oxide bottom (less than 2,000 miles since restoration)Restoration maintains correct original Wimbledon White & Black interior, now with Guardsman Blue Shelby stripes (have side rocker stripe decals as well). Concours-quality stainless steel Shelby hood-pins also now installed.350-375HP Ford Racing 302 with aluminum heads built by highly-regarded Danbury Competition Engines (well-known in Ford Vintage Racing circles)Finned Shelby COBRA alloy valve covers and correct aluminum Shelby COBRA racing oil pan (expensive)Autolite maintenance-free replica batteryRear-exit performance exhaust4-speed 'Toploader' with HURST ShifterDisc brakes up front; correct over-sized Shelby GT350 drum brakes in rearPoly-bushing suspension setup in front(6) American Racing Torq-Thrust 'D' wheels with tires (15x6 with 215/65/15 front; and 2 sets of rear tires: 15x6 with 225/70/15 & wider 15x8 with 235/60/15 shown) - all like newGT350R racing-look Stewart-Warner 6-guage pack with black camera case bezel (see photos - not yet installed, but comes with car. Can replace original gauges.)Red front & rear shock set from Drake (see photos - not yet installed, but comes with car)Shelby-style aircraft/racing seat beltsSo true to the original, it even has the sought-after 'radio-delete' panel option.Many other improvements - some since pictures were taken Mustang Fastbacks that have built motors and restored like this don't sell in the 30s. The bidding is starting low, but low-ball bids basically waste time, so if you're interested bid up $40K+ and then it gets interesting. I am not a dealer. I don't need to sell this car. Full payment must clear bank before car ships. Car is for sale 'as is' and is also for sale locally, and may be sold at anytime. Again, to be clear: I'm simply ready to do something else now, so that's why the car comes with a few extra parts that were not yet installed: S&W racing gauges (shown in listing picture) Scott Drake 'red' shocks (shown in listing picture)The extra set of rear wheels and tires (shown in listing picture)All together, these parts start would cost another $1,800 - THERE IS A TON OF VALUE WITH THIS SALE. I also have (but not included in this auction - available separately) an authentic Carroll Shelby autographed glove box door for 1965 & 1966 Mustangs. I will sell the autographed glove box separately to interest parties for $2,500.00 (see my separate listing on eBay). I can provide pictures and autograph information. Inquire if interested.
