Equipment
289/306hp, 4-speed, 5-spoke Shelby alloy wheels, woodgrain steering wheel, dashtop Shelby tach, gauge package, folding rear seat, Pony interior, factory shifter.
Condition
Good paint, chrome and vinyl roof. The underbody and chassis are nearly like new. The interior appears to be original. There is a tiny scrape over the left rear wheel. Panels fit flush with even gaps. The hood is only modestly bowed. Represented as the matching numbers engine. Used by Shelby to develop the '66 GT350.
Market commentary
Sold at Russo and Steele in Scottsdale in 2004 for $280,800 fresh from its restoration which now has mellowed but is still highly presentable. It is eminently collectible and a minor milestone in Shelby American history but its condition and history are more than adequately reflected in the expensive price it brought here.
