1966 Shelby GT350 Fastback
- Engine
- 4.7L (289 cu in) V8, high-performance tune
- Colour
- Dark Moss Green
The 12th GT350 built for the 1967 model year, this Shelby Mustang Fastback is one of roughly 200 'upper scoop light' cars shipped from the Los Angeles factory before rear sail-panel marker lights were ruled illegal in many states. Delivered new on 12 December 1966 to a Florida Ford dealership in Dark Moss Green over black vinyl, it retains its numbers-matching Hi-Po 289 V-8, four-speed top-loader transmission, and a wide array of original factory options. Protected early by Ziebart undercoating and subsequently stored for 13 years, it preserves an exceptional quantity of original sheet metal and is supported by extensive Shelby American documentation.
