by Mike –
The 1965 Shelby GT350 Mustang is a milestone car for many reasons and the 1966 model is probably a better driver. It has a top level collectability rating, although not as high as the 1965 model but not as expensive either.
The 1966 model was simply a Shelby GT 350, not a Mustang. Colors other than white were also introduced in 1966.
The easiest way to spot the difference between a 1965 and 1966 GT350 are the brake air scoops behind the doors on the 1966 model. The new version also had rear quarter-panel windows instead of vents. Options included the Select Shift 3-speed automatic and a Paxton supercharger.
The battery was located in the engine compartment instead of the trunk, the fold down rear seats were an option and dual-exhaust was standard.
There were 2,378 examples made in 1966 including 1,003 of the Hertz version and four convertibles.
Maybe someday I will find one for me.
This GT350 brochure came from the Old Car Manual Project.
To the Owner; why have you the activated e-mail subscriptions? I am a diehard fan of classic Ford Mustangs!!! Maybe you could reconsider e-mail subscriptions to “mycarquest.com”, in the future, huh?
