- 4.7L (289 cu in) V8 high-performance small-block, numbers-matching
- Colour
- Wimbledon White without racing stripe
A 1965/1966 'carry-over' Shelby GT350, the 165th unit produced, this Wimbledon White fastback was first invoiced to Sexton Ford of Moline, Illinois in late 1965 before serving briefly as a Shelby American company demonstrator under Ken Miller. Returning to the dealer network in early 1967 with under 2,200 miles, it passed through several Ohio-based enthusiast owners before joining the Lindisfarne Collection in 2001. It retains its numbers-matching 289 HiPo V-8, original Borg Warner T-10 gearbox, and fewer than 43,400 documented miles.
