1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang - www.robson.m3rlin.org
The 1966 was differentiated in body color (non-white versions were introduced – colors included blue, red, green and black, as well as the original white) and trim. The “Le Mans” stripes were continued as an option, as in 1965. It featured special quarter-panel windows and rear air scoops on each side and an optional automatic transmission. A fold-down rear seat was now standard as well. Where early 1965 cars had black engine blocks, 1966 and later cars had the 289 engine painted blue.** The first 252 GT-350s for 1966 were “carry-over” cars. They had the 1965 Ford Mustang Bodies and 1965 Ford Mustang serial numbers under their Shelby serial numbers. They had mostly 1965 features including standard Koni shocks and engines painted black. Blue engines did not occur in 1966 until after these 252 “carry-over” models were produced. 1966 production was 1373 fastbacks including 2 prototypes and 4 drag cars and 252 “carry-over” models with Ford Mustang 1965 bodies. 1001 Hertz fastbacks were produced including 2 prototypes. 4 convertibles were also produced for a total of 2378 units for 1966. The original colors of the GT500(GT350???) were metallic grey with some twin black racing stripes. Click here to read more.. »
