Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
First raced by Pedro Rodriguez for Gene Hamon and won first time out. Later prepared by Freddy Van Buren who was SCCA B-Production regional champion in 1966 and 1967 with it. Retired at Daytona in 1967 while leading its class. First in class at Sebring in 1967. One of 36 GT350Rs made. Restored in 1983 and vintage raced since. Used but tidied up original engine bay. Dull paint with the chips, dings and small cracks that come with racing in anger. Clean but worn competition interior. Competition car cleaned up for auction. Restored in the 1980s
Market commentary
Sold by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2006 for $748,000, no-saled at Gooding's Scottsdale auction in 2011, then sold by RM from the Andrews collection in 2015 for $770,000. Still one of the best Shelby Mustangs out there, with an important racing history and demonstrated recent competitiveness in historic events. It's worth all the money it brought.
