Tomy Drissi Burns Rubber in his 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350-H
It’s no secret that early Mustangs in any shape or form have been valuable collectibles. But the original Shelby GT350-H, produced from 1965 to 1966, stands apart from less exclusive models because Ford only produced around 1,000 of them, making the “Rent-A-Racer” quite rare and, as a result, extremely valuable. That doesn’t seem to faze professional racer Tomy Drissi, who recently showed off his personal Shelby GT350-H on public roads by performing some high-profile burnouts.
Despite looking extremely clean, Drissi’s mostly stock 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350-H is a B-production race car. That probably explains the trunk sticker (or piece of tape) affixed somewhat randomly onto the lid. More importantly, this Shelby pony also comes equipped with a full roll cage and racing seats.
While Ford, Shelby American and Hertz probably expected rental customers to drive them in a spirited manner, they didn’t outfit the GT350-H with the kind of equipment racers would want for the track. In fact, Ford even removed some performance parts from the cars after it got the rentals back from Hertz.
