Details

This 1966 Shelby GT350 was originally ordered in Wimbledon White with factory Guardsman Blue LeMans stripes, a black interior and chrome Magnum wheels. It retains an original date-code-correct engine, along with correct distributer, carburetor, fan blade, radiator, C4 transmission and date-code-correct rear end. This car is restored with mostly original assembly line parts. The undercarriage is detailed and finished with the correct shade of red oxide primer and body color overspray. All steering components, drivetrain and suspension components have also been professionally restored. The body of this restored Shelby also retains all of its original Ford VIN stamps, as well as the original Shelby VIN stamp, SFM6S486, in the aprons. This has been verified by SAAC head judge Tim Lea and submitted and verified by 1965-66 Shelby Registrar Howard Pardee. Originally leased to Joe Burgett of All-American Racers in Santa Ana, CA, on January 21, 1966, it remained in service at All-American Racers until the summer of 1967, before eventually being sold and beginning its life as a street car. This GT350 has spent the last 15 years in two different climate-controlled private collections. The original documentation included with this car consists of a serial number verification from Howard Pardee, invoice from Hi-Performance Motors to All-American Racers, lease agreement to All-American Racers and insurance claim from All-American Racers for stolen tachometer, as well as several service records performed by Hi-Performance Motors for All-American Racers.
