1966 FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK WHICH HAS BEEN BUILT INTO A SHELBY GT350 TRIBUTE BY ONE OF ITS PRIOR OWNERS. THE CAR IS FINISHED IN THE EVER-ICONIC COLOR COMBINATION OF WIMBLEDON WHITE AND GUARDSMAN BLUE OVER THE STRIPES AND "GT350" ROCKER STRIPES! RIGHT ABOVE THOSE ROCKER STRIPES YOU WILL SEE THE REVERED SHELBY SIDE SCOOPS WHICH HAVE BEEN MOLDED RIGHT INTO THE BODY OF THE CAR FOR A MORE SLEEK FINISH THAN FACTORY ON A 66 GT350 AND THE ICONIC MUSTANG QUARTER VENTS SLATS HAVE BEEN RETAINED ON THIS CAR AS OPPOSED TO THE SHELBY PLEXIGLASS WINDOWS.

THE ENGINE BREATHS OUT A SET OF HEADERS AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS NICE AND TIDY WITH NO LEAKS OR DRIPS DETECTED WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN HERE IN ORLANDO AREA! THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RUN OFTEN BY ITS LAST OWNER OR I, HOWEVER, IT FIRES UP GOOD. THE BATTERY IN THE CAR WAS REPLACED A FEW MONTHS BACK. POWER IS TRANSFERRED THOUGH A C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR SHIFTS INTO ALL FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARSWITH EASE. OVERALL, THE CAR HAS PLENTY OF POWER, MAKES THE RIGHT NOISE, AND IS READY TO BE TAKEN TO ANY LOCAL CRUISE NIGHT WHERE IT WOULD PRESENT ITSELF VERY WELL.

INSIDE, THE NEW OWNER OF THIS 66 FASTBACK WILL BE IMPRESSED BY THE CLEAN INTERIOR. THE CARPET AND HEADLINER PRESENT VERY WELL AND THE UPHOLSTREY IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS.

OVERALL, THE COSMETICS OF THIS PATICULARSHELBY TRIBUTE ARE FAIRLY STRONG. THE PAINT PRESENTS ITSELF WELL ALTHOUGH IT IS DRIVER QUALITY. THE PAINT HAS A NICE SHINE AND LUSTER TO IT, IT IS NOT CHECKING, AND SHOWS WELL BUT IS NOT PERFECT. THE CHROME BUMPERS AND STAINLESS TRIM SHOW NICELY ON THE CARAS DO THE WHEELS! THE CAR IS NOT COSMETICALLY FREE OF FLAWS (AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS) BUT, OVERALL, THIS PATICULAR CAR OFFERS QUIE A BIT OF "BANG FOR THE BUCK”. NOT ONLY IS THE CAR (OBVIOUSLY) LISTED FOR A SMALL FRACTION OF WHAT A REAL SHELBY WOULD GO FOR, BUT IT IS ALSO LISTED FOR A SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN WHAT OTHER SHELBY TIBUTE TYPE CARS ARE CURRENTLY LISTED FOR ON EBAY AND OTHER MARKET SOURCES.. MOST OF THOSE SEEMING TO BE LOWER QUALITY EXAMPLES WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELYAT THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THIS PATICULAR EXAMPLE IS CLEANAND TIDY, RUNS WELL, AND LOOKS THE PART. IT WOULD MAKE FOR A WONDERFUL CAR FOR THE ENTHUSIAST TO TAKE TO A LOCAL CRUISE NIGHT OR ENJOY ON THE OPEN ROAD TO HIS/HER HEART'S CONTENT OR TO IMPROVEAS TIME AND FUNDS ALLOW.
