1965 Shelby Mustang GT350, 1964
Add to SetSummary
Ford asked Carroll Shelby to build a high-performance version of its Mustang for the 1965 model year. Shelby removed the back seat, added a heftier suspension and brakes, and modified the 289-cubic-inch V-8 engine to produce 306 horsepower. Shelby built 562 Mustang GT350 cars that first year. Thirty-six of them were the even more potent 360-horsepower GT350R competition variant.
