Savannah, GA
Description:
1967 Ford Mustang GT350 Convertible, making it one of those rare instances where a tribute might actually outpace the genuine article. Restored in the early 2000s, it only takes one look at this gorgeous droptop to know it was clearly a no-holds-barred build with incredible attention to detail, making this Mustang creation very close in spirit to its Shelby cousins. All the important stuff is there, including a fiberglass hood complete with dual scoops, pins, and lanyards, that sharp Shelby nose augmented with a pair of foglight fangs, quarter panel scoops, and even a fiberglass decklid punctuated with a ducktail spoiler and a pair of T-Bird taillights below. It will definitely get its share of double-takes from experts and regular fans alike, and all the proper Shelby accoutrements show us that these restorers didnt just want to build a killer car, but they wanted to pay homage to an American icon. By painting it Raven Black, its obvious they were confident in the bodywork, as black finish always betrays shoddy prep work. Its not a perfect trailer queen - tributes are built to be driven while the genuine articles are sealed away in museums - and in the two decades its been finished the car has acquired a couple minor imperfections, but theres really not much to complain about. The fiberglass hood doesnt fit perfectly, as fiberglass hoods are known to do, and theres a tiny nick and scratch here and there, but the finish is very deep, uniform, and still retains a high gloss thanks to modern urethane materials. Its a top-end driver-quality muscle car that drops jaws wherever it goes, and our pictures are indicative of what it looks like in person. The most distinctive feature are the close-set driving lights in the center of the grille - outlawed early in 1967 Shelby production yet still offer the coolest Mustang look. Proper white Shelby decals run down the center of the car and adorn the rockers and break up the finish just right, while correct GT350 emblems and coiled-snake badges all reinforce the idea that this is a car that could have lived and breathed in 1967. Nice chrome bumpers add a touch of upscale class to the Shelbys bare-knuckles attitude and having seen this car in the flesh, we wonder why Shelby took so long building one. The interior strikes the right balance between sporting and elegant that Shelby aimed for when they built the GT500, and this GT350 gets all the benefits. The high-end Comfortweave upholstery is familiar Mustang fare that looks excellent, along with the matching black carpets and beautifully finished door panels with sparkling bright inserts. Its shockingly clean inside, with no signs of wear or sun-fading to report, and the unblemished dash, black Shelby floormats, and seatbelts are all high-traffic areas that look great. A wood-rimmed Shelby steering wheel is drop-dead gorgeous and really transforms the interior from average to spectacular, pairing perfectly with the cue-ball topped Hurst shifter that manages the 4-speed. Then theres the roll bar behind the seats, a quintessential Shelby styling device thats more style than structure, but who really cares when it looks this darn cool! Beautifully restored gauges ahead of the driver and under the dash keep an eye on the cackling engine, a retro-style AM/FM/Cassette stereo was mounted in the center, and a full factory-style A/C system was installed with modern hardware, although it needs a service to blow cold again. All these correct, little details confirm that this was a very expensive build, not some guys backyard hack job, and the Carroll Shelby autograph above the glove compartment solidifies this Mustangs high-end credentials. The back convertible top stows easily under a matching boot and the trunk is properly outfitted with a plaid trunk mat and full-sized spare tire with cover. The essence of the GT350 was always powerful small block, and this convertible doesnt disappoint with an upgraded 351 cubic inch V8 under the hood. Fire it up and enjoy that snarky performance sound that practically defined Mustang performance from the early days, aided by a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor atop an Offenhauser aluminum intake, a Mallory ignition, and aluminum Afco Racing radiator up front. Its dressed in finned Cobra valve covers and a chrome open-element air cleaner complete with period-perfect 351 decals, while sporty Shelby-esque upgrades include the chrome shock-tower braces between the fenders that stiffen the front end, a Shelby Snake badge adoring the A/C compressor bracket, and a reproduction Shelby American VIN plate on the drivers side inner fender. Its also got power steering and power front disc brakes - welcome additions even to the relatively lightweight Mustang. The upgraded Flowmaster dual exhaust system sounds spectacular, especially at full bore when cycling through that quick-shifting 4-speed gearbox below. Reproduction Shelby 5-spoke alloy wheels are some of the best-looking Mustang wheels of all-time and theyre wrapped in grippy 235/60/15 Cooper Cobras that finish the look perfectly.
