Shelby GT350 – A Mustang with a Twist
Carroll Shelby’s 1965 Shelby GT350 transformed the Mustang into a track-ready legend. Although it doesn’t look like it nowadays, back in the 1960s, Carroll Shelby had a lot of influence at Ford. His reach on the Mustang line was unheard of, and he created several special edition track beasts. The GT350 was one of the most iconic Shelby creations to ever come out of a Ford garage (via Hemmings).
The car performed well on the track and the street, with the kind of blistering performance that you wouldn’t expect out of a Mustang. Anything with the Shelby name on it is going to be fast, but the GT500 took things to a whole new level. The car was beautiful and fast, coupled with all kinds of notable luxury features. This car was the pinnacle of anything Mustang and you’ll seldom come across anything as impressive.
