Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H
With the retro-looking car craze came the return of the legendary Mustang and special versions like the Shelby GT-H. Back in 1966, Shelby offered its GT350 model as a rental car through the Hertz network. The cars were black with gold stripes and the GT350-H model designation. Exactly 40 years later, Ford presented the 2006 Mustang they tuned to Shelby specs they named the GT-H.
The cars were regular GTs with a 19 HP power increase, new front end, some details and of course, black paint with gold stripes.
