1965 Ford Mustang

The original Shelby GT350 stands among the most iconic American performance cars of the 1960s. Introduced in 1965 through the collaboration of Ford Motor Company and Carroll Shelby, the GT350 transformed the modest Mustang fastback into a competition-bred sports car with serious road-racing credentials. Shelby American reworked the Mustang's suspension, braking, and powertrain, creating a lighter, more focused machine that quickly established its reputation in SCCA competition. Distinguished by Wimbledon White paint, Guardsman Blue racing stripes, functional performance upgrades, and unmistakable Shelby styling, the early GT350 has become one of the most coveted muscle-era Fords.
