This 1966 Shelby GT350 is one of 252 Carryover cars. For more mustang content, check out our full restoration on this 1965 GT350: • Restoring a 1965 Shelb...
Peter Klutt of Legendary Motorcar gives the history on how these '65 Shelbys became 1966 GT350s. Gary road tests this fully restored GT350 showcasing and reviewing how this car drives and sounds. As the '65 Shelby GT350s was completing final production, Shelby American began work on the new 1966 model. Ford wanted the new 66 model to be more road compliant, so gone were racing features like side exit exhaust, override traction bars and the Detroit Locker that had made the GT350 a race winning success. Instead, their focus was to produce a car that was easier to sell to the normal enthusiast rather than the amateur racer. Before the re-tooling was completed for the 1966 model, Shelby had ordered 250 cars from Ford at the end of the 1965 production run from the San Jose plant. Without these cars in the pipeline, Shelby American would have had to shut down their assembly line for about a month and a half. So these cars were meant to “carryover” Shelby American until the new 1966 Mustangs arrived in October.
These “Carry-over” cars as they are 1965 chassis built into 1966 model year cars by Shelby, and as a result, a unique blend of 1965 and 1966 features. Today these carry-over cars are the most desirable 1966 production GT350s and have a devout following. This 1966 Shelby GT350 offered here for sale is one of only 252 “carryover” models produced. The car was shipped new to Jack Loftus Ford on October 7th, 1965. As per Shelby records, this GT350 came equipped from the factory with optional Cragar alloy wheels. Recently, this example was subject to a rotisserie restoration finished in Wimbledon White paint with Lemans stripes to absolutely show quality with incredible panel fit. Under the hood remains the numbers matching 289ci/306hp Hi-Po backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Important with any collector car of this caliber, this example comes heavily documented with SAAC serial number verification, Shelby invoice, Warranty invoices and more. Additionally, its ownership history is listed in the Shelby American World Registry.

I still have my father's original numbers matching 67 Shelby GT 500. It's a rust free, California car, still has the black and yellow plates. 428 PI, original dual carbs , 10 spoke wheels, C-6 trans. Center headlights. It was delivered to Fairway Ford in June of 1967. Thank you Dad for the memories and those still happening. RIP, Dad. Great video, commentary and history behind the early Shelbys. Thank you for sharing.

As a ten yr old in Ohio it was the first cool car I ever saw in my neighborhood. It was a middle-class neighborhood so this thing got my attention. I didn't know what I was looking at but I remember it was a green 67 Shelby & I was messmerized!

75 year old here and my dad rented a Hertz GT350… I had just gotten my license and he let me drive it! How many guys can say they learned to drive a stick in a Shelby GT 350! We just had Father’s Day and my dad RIP was one of the coolest. Every Father’s Day I think of that drive! 👍

Weren't all Hertz's 350s all manuals?! So how could you learn to drive a stick??? Busted. Sell crazy elsewhere.

@stevepick9527 Ай бұрын

Nope you are WRONG. They were mostly autos but they had some 4 speeds also. My dad got a 4 speed as most customers wanted an auto. I have no reason to lie about one of my best memories with him.

Hey Peter (Legendary Motorcar), I am still enjoying 6s843 that you restored for me. The paint job you/Legendary Motorcar did is still amazing even after almost 30 years of ownership! Gary is great on your show. A very charming young man.

Great video, Peter and Gary. I'll never forget the first GT350 I ever saw - I was a kid living in CT in 1965, early one morning, waiting for the school bus along with a couple other kids, when a guy who lived around the corner came by in a Wimbledon White with blue stripes GT350. We were all gobsmacked as he blipped the throttle, we all nearly lost our minds! The sight and the sound were forever burned into my brain!

Hello Peter and Legendary Team, Your videos are always the most informative and a real joy to watch. Well done! A good friend of mine has one of the "Carry Over" cars. His has the Paxton setup and it really rips! I agree these carry overs are the best early Shelby Mustangs, maybe even the best of all! IMHO right now of all the cars out there for sale, (like the 05/06 Ford GT commercial) this Is 'THE ONE' to have. I had a chance to talk with you during SAAC 46 in Sonoma, truly was nice to meet you.

My dream car. Thanks so much for sharing. Peter for all your knowledge, and Gary for your enthusiasm to drive these old classics and give that youthful exuberance that you put forth. Gives me hope that these old classics will continue with a younger generation. Hondas and toyotas just don't have a soul, and that seem like what al the young guys like. That's OK too, i guess. Run what you like. Thanks again guys, us old guys who live through you apperciate the time you put into all of it. Thanks again, guys!

I've owned 6 Shelbys back in the 70's. They were a dime a dozen. I paid as little as $50 for a 1968 GT 350 with a blown engine to $1,800 for a 1968 GT 500 KR. They are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them today.

I owned a '66 carryover car in the mid 80's...bought mine for $75K. Put about $35K into it getting it back to OEM specs and sold her in the late 90's for $145K. My first car as 15 year old teen boy was a hand me down '66 A Code fastback in '73 that my sister and her stupid boy friends had beat the shit out of but i drove the tires off it and put an intake and bigger carb and headers on it, so i had some experience throwing a '66 Stang around on the roads. For anyone who has never driven or owned a GT350...they don't drive worth a crap compared to modern cars. Drum brakes so they don''t stop worth a crap and at 306 HP they weren't incredibly fast...they pushed like crazy in a corner. But they sure look cool and are a visceral experience to drive (a guy who moved on to 911's after the GT350 and now owns a 2018 GT2 RS).

I couldn't afford a real one, so I made a copycat. This is when I was 30 years old. I was trying to raise a family and build this car with limited funds. I am 72 years now. It made such an impression on me when I was a kid, I dreamed about a Shelby G.T. 350 and it's all I could do was with an imitation. It was so overwhelming the response I would get driving it down the street. People loved this car and expressed themselves with countless shoutouts and thumbs up. I remember elderly folks when I pulled up at stoplights. They would look at me and smile. This car just does something to people's hearts. It will always be in mine.
