The Shelby GT350 holds an almost mythical status in American automotive history, born from Carroll Shelby's ambition to transform Ford's pony car into a legitimate track weapon. Introduced in 1965, the original GT350 took the Mustang Fastback and infused it with a potent dose of performance, featuring a modified 289 cubic-inch V8, upgraded suspension, and a distinctive aesthetic. The 1966 model year refined this formula, with slight cosmetic changes and the introduction of optional automatic transmissions alongside the manual, making the raw power more accessible. Only 1,373 GT350s were produced in 1966, cementing its legend as a true homologation special and a cornerstone of muscle car culture. This particular 1966 Ford Mustang GT350CR, however, is not merely a pristine survivor, but a thoroughly modern interpretation crafted by the renowned specialists at Classic Recreations. While retaining the iconic silhouette that made the original a legend, this build features zero miles on the odometer, signifying a fresh, ground-up creation. The "CR" designation signifies a contemporary chassis and powertrain, though the specific engine and transmission details are not provided, Classic Recreations GT350CR models typically boast powerful modern Ford V8s and robust automatic transmissions, delivering exhilarating performance far exceeding the original's capabilities while offering everyday drivability. This is an opportunity to acquire a legendary design reimagined with modern engineering and uncompromising craftsmanship.
