Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R
Posted by Stretch | Filed under Cars
Shelby has created many different Mustangs. Most are limited editon models, and collect quite the penny at an auction.
The Shelby Mustang GT350R is the race edition GT350. Only 34 created, and all painted identical, this car is expected to fetch close to $1 million.
The Shelby American Automobile Club’s Registry offers an interesting description of the 350 and 350 R series: “Unlike most production race cars which are created by modifying the street version, the GT 350 road car was in fact a detuned R-Model”.
There were only 34 R-models built, and they are the fire-breathing, Corvette-beating, heart and soul of the Shelby Mustang lineage. All were Wimbledon White with blue stripes and they all ran like Jack the Bear. Immediately successful in achieving their intended purpose, they dominated SCCA B/Production racing in their first season and nearly obliterated other marques and models from the annual SCCA runoffs.
