Details

This Shelby GT350 fastback #2790 is one of not more than 32 with red interior and blue side stripes (one of the original red, white and blue cars). It was originally shipped from Dearborn to J.D. Ball Ford in Miami, FL on March 31, 1970. It was transferred to McCulley Ford in West Palm Beach on July 20, 1970 as a dealer trade and ultimately sold on October 5, 1970. It has been professionally restored by Bob Scranton in West Palm Beach in 1992 and has a period-correct, tastefully-modified 351 Windsor V8 rebuilt by Cobra Automotive in Wallingford, CT in 1997, which appears stock except for stainless exhaust headers and pipes connecting through dual Flowmaster mufflers into the original trademark Shelby aluminum center exhaust collector. Original exhaust manifolds come with the car. Power flows through the factory FMX Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission to the 3.00:1 rear axle. A Holley 4 barrel carburetor tops the original aluminum intake manifold. Factory front power disc brakes, power steering, extra heavy-duty suspension, tinted glass and air conditioning. Extensive documentation of restoration including original Build Sheet, many photos and a listing of all owners is included.
