For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H (Raven Black, 289ci V8, 3-speed auto, 70K miles)
This 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H is one of approximately 1,000 examples produced as part of a partnership between Ford and the Hertz rental-car company. According to the SAAC registry, the car was shipped in March 1966 to Metke Ford Motors of Bellevue, Washington, for dealer preparation prior to delivery to Hertz in Seattle. After use in the Hertz program it was sent in May of 1967 to Ray Schultens Ford in The Dalles, Oregon.
The first private owner bought the car in 1967 and kept it for 37 years before selling it to the previous owner, who subsequently commissioned a multi-year restoration. The project included repainting the car in its original shade of Raven Black with gold stripes, as well as overhauling the numbers-matching 289ci HiPo V8, refreshing the black vinyl interior, rebuilding the suspension and brakes, and more as outlined in the listing below. Additional equipment includes a three-speed automatic transmission, 15” chrome Magnum 500-style wheels, a fold-down rear seat, and an AM radio.
Acquired by the selling dealer six months ago, this GT350H is now offered with serial number verification from the SAAC, photos and invoices from the restoration, a photo book, and a clean Oregon title.
