This
beautiful original 1966 Shelby was sold new @ Hi-Performance Motors
in El Segundo California to its original owner Mr. John G.
Bickers on 1/3/67.
Over the years it has benefited from meticulous care, resulting in this
fantastic example of Shelby’s GT-350 model you see here today; complete
with a numbers matching K-Code Hi-Po 289/306hp engine backed by a 4 speed transmission
and Ford 9 inch rear end.
Further
enhanced by 1965 Shelby style side dump exhaust, the correct style dash mounted
tach, 3” lap belts and Magnum 500 wheels shod with correct style small letter Goodyear
Polyglas bias ply tires. Having been carefully restored to its factory color of
Sapphire Blue, great attention to detail was taken during restoration including
proper red oxide primer underbody with factory replicated over spray.
While not stopping there, the car has
detailed engine bay, suspension and correct style paint marking and paper
tags.
It is guaranteed to turn heads and
impress, if not by it looks alone most certainly by its sound!!!
Of course it also comes fully documented in
the Shelby American World Registry on page
483 and 537, complete with a copy of the original Shelby invoice,
Ford and Shelby VIN #’s have been confirmed
with SAAC Headquarters.
Original
documented Shelby, carefully restored, a great
example for the Shelby collector or aficionado alike.
