About this car

This 1966 Shelby GT350H is one of the Hertz rental cars, a run of Mustang-based GT350s built for the car hire firm. The page says only 50 were finished in Ivy Green with the Gold Le Mans stripes, and this one has a black interior.

The car has the four-speed manual gearbox, which is the version collectors prefer. It has covered 83,000 miles. The engine is the correct numbers-matching unit, documented in the Shelby Register. Copies of the original factory invoices and documentation come with it, along with the owner's manuals.

The car is described as highly original. It keeps its factory sheet metal and has had one professional repaint several years ago. It has not been fully restored. Instead it has had cosmetic reconditioning as needed over the years. The interior is largely original. The factory lap belts, dash-mounted tachometer and original Shelby VIN plate are all still in place. The car is UK registered and is currently on hold.
