NUMBER MATCHING 1966 MUSTANG SHELBY GT 350 HERTZ

It was never super clean inside, incredibly clean, so we changed this thing 50 times, put it back together, rebuilt the carburetor, changed the fuel pump, cleaned the fuel system, put the battery in, it starts up, runs great and from there we continue. to the brakes so this has Kelsey Hayes front disc brakes we went ahead and bought a new set that from Summit Racing that had been held back they had them in stock it's a b that kept the originals the same with the fuel pump we kept . the original fuel pump, so the brakes were done, a new set of bfgs were done, all the fluids were changed and part of the original exhaust system had been removed.

The guy was tinkering with it, I don't know, I did that, but the original resonators were with the On the car, we put them back on, which is surprising, basically the exhaust system on this car seems to be the header is the original of the original resonator and some of the original center sections, the mufflers, have been removed and the actual exhaust pipes have been changed to something strange, so we got the correct ones from Cobrand, so it has the correct tips on the part rear. Most of the paint on this car is an amazing original patina.

All the glass is original when we replaced this door, which we have pictures of the other door. the other door we used all the original components from the original door including the glass so all the glass on this car is original it still has the dent in the rocker panel that we didn't try to fix when the other door was on it is damaged. and it still opens and closes correctly, this one also opens and closes like it's supposed to. Now let's look under the hood, if you noticed in our first video that we were checking all the components that matched the

number

s, there were a couple of things that weren't there.

Not correct though, the correct items either came with the car or we got them ourselves, so when we found the car, it didn't have the Monte Carlo clamp or the correct export branch, whatever you want to call it, it had the one that had the u because It had the oval air filter and had a set of non-original cow custom valve covers. We put the original air filter back in and luckily the original Monte Carlo bar export bridge was everything you're comfortable calling it. It came with the car we put it in. also and then these valve covers we got from Cobrand, but other than that this engine is so correct it's so original again it has the original dual point distributor the original carburetor the original intake the correct heads are actually born with the engine Born with block all

number

s are correct now, I would consider this a sympathetic restoration because we tried to keep this car as original as possible.

Now there are two schools of thought, if you can keep one so original, that's how you should do it. Second school of thought if you want build the best car in the world a mca national gold winning car this would be one to start with too it is so right it hasn't been hit in the front again the numbers are off both fenders internals, a rust free car with Shelby tag, never removed. and a car that matches real numbers not just vaguely a car that matches numbers a car that matches real numbers and we look at the underside of this car, let's look at all the red x side primer what an amazing car to start with but really I hope someone keeps a The car as it is drives it and enjoys it as it is so let's go drive it and enjoy it now if you listen it starts it runs fine we'll have a little discussion while we drive it all the gauges work it runs it.

You drive and you stop and you act like you need to look at that so we're going to start it up and we're going to set up the cameras and we're going to take you for a ride so can you imagine back in the day when you just left the

hertz

counter that Did they give you this? key and for 17 and 17 cents a mile you have to go running. Wow, I think most people back in the day even have a clue how to put on a seat belt. See us, these factory harnesses, the racing harnesses were on these cars.

This is the right game. let's drive and enjoy this gt350h i love the tack i mean how bold was that carol you said well let's drill three holes in the dash and just screw the tack in there that's what they did this is the dashboard panel original dash, it's cracked but I just thought it was a nice patina to leave it if you notice all the gauges work speedometer odo oil pressure fuel everything works great the carpet is original this car like I said everything inside this car is original with the exception of the tack and mats this car is tight it doesn't move the steering still drives straight we didn't even have to line it it has some new bushings in the front that we did but not much it wasn't used it is one of the few I have come back to see that they are not this car has never bottomed out, now it still runs strong, I mean, those of you are watching this, no, this is 306 horsepower, but yeah, man still runs hard, I'm here at five. great, I mean it screams what a nice car, I think if I really went back in time I would probably never return it, so another thing I really like about this car is the fact that it hasn't been for sale, it's had a sole proprietorship history.

Over the last 50 years of my life buying and selling cars, Shelby Mustangs tend to be the hardest to get people to sell and the most emotional when you finally get them. This car has not been on the roads since 1972. It is a great honor for me. Get it back on the road and drive it. I like to get these cars back on the road where people can see them again. I really don't think this car should be restored, but that's up to the next owner. It really drives well. Works. hard does everything it's supposed to do it's perfect hits five big wicks we're running 55 miles per hour but it drives very straight so there you have it real numbers that match running and driving hard gt350h now I'm going to reiterate this once further.

This guy owned this car for 50 years. The next guy who buys it might have it for a long time too. Actual numbers that match cars don't come around often. I think you're going to love this car. The presentation has a lot of patina. A really nice car. Good luck with the auction.
