GT350 4 Speed Candy Apple Red

By the mid-1960s Carroll Shelby had proved his modified Mustangs were potent cars, on and off the track. Building on the success of the 1965 and 1966 GT350s, Shelby introduced the GT350’s first refresh in 1967. The aggressive look featured a new hood design, round lights integrated into the grille, and scoops added to the rear quarter windows as well as into the side coves ahead of the rear wheels. At the back of the Shelby a rear spoiler was integrated into the trunk and rear quarter extensions and the customary Mustang tri-bar tail lights were replaced with a set of sequential lights barrowed from the Thunderbird. For 1968 the hood design featured a more pronounced twin-snout hood scoop and the grille lights were changed to a more rectangular shape.

This 1968 Shelby GT350 Fastback left the factory finished in Candy Apple Red colour over a Black vinyl interior. According to the accompanying Marti Report it was equipped with shoulder harness, extra cooling package, visibility group, wheel lip moldings, Sport Deck rear seat, power disc brakes, power steering, AM radio, interior décor group, heavy duty battery, as well as a tachometer and trip odometer. It was shipped to Hunter Auto Sales, Powell St. Conway.

It rides on new 10-spoke Shelby wheels shod in Goodyear tires. It’s powered by a 302 cu. in. V-8 engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Power steering and power brakes offer a welcome driver assists. The interior is equipped with a roll bar with integrated shoulder harnesses, Cobra branded seatbelts and console armrest, Philco radio and Stewart Warner accessory gauges. The GT350 is documented in the SAAC Registry and is accompanied by a copy of the original sales invoice, Marti Report, and a set of steel wheels with Shelby Cobra wheel covers..
