The Ford Mustang, an icon born in the crucible of the 1960s, redefined the American automotive landscape. Launched in April 1964, its instant success created the "pony car" segment, offering sporty styling and V8 performance in an accessible package. The 1966 model year, part of the first generation, refined the original formula with subtle styling tweaks and further cemented its place in American culture. Among the most desirable configurations was the fastback, a sleek, flowing roofline that perfectly complemented the Mustang's athletic stance. Its appeal was further amplified by collaborations with Carroll Shelby, most notably the Hertz "Rent-A-Racer" GT350H program, which saw a limited number of Mustangs fitted with performance upgrades and distinctive black and gold livery, becoming instant legends and highly sought-after collector's items. This 1966 Mustang fastback, showing 12,365 miles, presents a unique opportunity for an enthusiast to salvage a piece of that storied history. Originally a T-code car, it was cloned into a Hertz/Shelby tribute sometime in the 1970s or 80s, retaining several valuable components from its Shelby-inspired past. Despite its rough condition and extensive rust, making it best suited as a parts donor or a monumental restoration project, it features a Shelby Paxton supercharger, a Shelby oil pan, and a fiberglass-over-steel hood. Further enhancements include disc brakes and a 9-inch rear end, hinting at its performance aspirations. The car rolls easily, and assistance with loading is available for transport, though potential buyers should note the hood hinges are seized. This is a chance to acquire a genuine 1966 fastback chassis, complete with significant Shelby-era components, offering an unparalleled foundation for a dedicated builder.
