About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Formerly part of the Reggie Jackson collection. Trunk and passenger's door gaps are uneven. Very good older paint and chrome. Excellent restored interior. Nearly spotless underbody. A very well restored car done a while ago but treated as a collectible since and nicely maintained.

Market commentary

While they offer fewer cubic inches than later Shelby Mustangs, the '65 GT350s have the racing pedigree and are more rewarding to drive, which is something that collectors seem to have started appreciating over the past year. This car sold at Russo and Steele in Monterey in 2005 for $324,500, then at Mecum Kissimmee in 2015 for the huge, even benchmark sum of $480,600. While more modest, this result is still a strong price and no less than the car deserved.
