The Shelby GT350 is, without question, one of the most iconic American performance machines ever conceived. Born from Carroll Shelby's ambition to transform the Mustang into a track-dominating force, the GT350 debuted in 1965, instantly becoming a legend. For 1966, Shelby American partnered with Hertz to create the "Rent-a-Racer" program, producing a limited run of GT350H models. These cars, primarily finished in black with gold stripes, allowed enthusiasts to experience genuine Shelby performance, even if only for a weekend. Most were equipped with automatic transmissions for rental fleet durability, making the manual transmission cars particularly coveted by collectors today. This exceptional 1966 Ford Mustang GT350H stands as a testament to that legendary program, verified by SAAC with corresponding paperwork and listed in the Shelby American Registry. Showing 84,113 miles, this Fastback is powered by its correct K-Code 289ci V8, a high-revving engine known for its robust performance. Unlike many of its rental brethren, this example retains its original manual transmission, offering a truly engaging driving experience. Period-correct details abound, from the Cobra valve covers and intake manifold to the 715-CFM Le Mans bowl Holley carburetor and date-code plug wires, all contributing to its authentic presentation. Further enhancing its Shelby pedigree are Koni shocks, override traction bars, and a factory 9,000-RPM tachometer, while the Deluxe AM radio, installed by Hi-Performance Motors in El Segundo, California, on January 13, 1966, adds a unique historical touch. This GT350H offers a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Shelby and Mustang history.
