Shelby GT350 Convertible
Many will tell you that the first model year for the Shelby Mustang convertibles was 1968, but this is only partially true. In 1968, Shelby offered convertible versions for sale to the general public as a regular production option. But the first convertibles built by Shelby himself were produced in 1966 as a secret project (via Hagerty).
At the end of the 1966 model year, Shelby produced a limited run of six GT350 convertibles and gave them to family members and friends. This was a commemorative edition to celebrate the GT350’s success and a prototype for the potential production of convertibles.
