Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

289 325hp, single 4 barrel, 4 speed, magnesium American Racing wheels, side exhaust, deleted bumpers, fiberglass front apron, oil cooler, vented acrylic rear window, wood rimmed steering wheel, lap belts, full size spare on deleted rear seat. One of 34 GT350Rs built. Owned and raced by the first owner through 1987. Known history from new with 4,862 miles. Retains original drive train and even the wheels and was recently restored to its first racing livery. Incredibly original, extensively documented and as new in every regard.

Market commentary

In many ways, Shelby GT350 Rs are the social chameleons of the collector car world and appeal to hot rodders, vintage racers, muscle car fans and even random passersby who peer through RMs fence banners to catch a glimpse of one. This is an absolutely outstanding car restored with correct finishes and it offers the next owner nothing but options. Show it, race it, annoy the neighbors with it or just sit in the garage and look at it. No matter what the new owner chooses to do with it, the two constants that remain are its growing legend and value.
