Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

About this Collectable

Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350 Manual 2017

Exactly how a Mustang should be: A 6-speed manual transmission, Limited slip differential and a chassis that can handle the power. Take to that the "flat plane" (180-degree) crankshaft that just turns 8250 revs and you have an American GT3 that, with 522hp, is a serious competitor to German and Italian sports cars. The GT 350 engines are aluminium, with no turbo or compressor and built by hand!
It is not the first GT 350 to be produced. Dating back to the 60'r years, Carol Shelby started a partnership with Ford in 1965 and they released the Shelby 350 together. The classic tuning consisted of a larger carburettor, open exhaust system and some weight-reducing measures such as a fibreglass bonnet with additional air intake. Unfortunately, the collaboration came to an end in 1970. Only 572 GT-350s were built of which just under 500 were built for street use. In 2005, the collaboration was revived which eventually led to yet another series of Mustang Shelby GT-H (by Hertz). An ode to the 1966 collaboration with Hertz in the livery of black, with gold stripes. A new supercharged GT 350 was released in 2011. Multiple versions followed after which the 3rd-generation Ford Perfomance Shelby GT 350 was released in 2015. Equipped with a high-revving engine with flat 180-degree crankshaft and a whopping 522hp. Spectacle guaranteed, as the power is achieved without any form of turbo or compressor. In Shelby circles, the engine is also known as the Voodoo engine. Although the GT 500 has more power, the GT 350 is the more circuit-focused variant with Brembo brakes, 6-speed manual transmission, MagneRide suspension, Recaro seats and a lot of weight-reducing parts. Over 7000 examples were produced and production ceased in 2020.
This GT 350 was delivered new in 2017 to the current owner. The car is in very good condition which is not surprising with this very low mileage. As standard, the car is already very richly equipped. Also equipped with an X-pel film, Black vue dashcam and Recaro seats.

Our opinion

With only 1 for sale in the Netherlands (and even in Europe only 12 at the time of this writing), a super exclusive car. Partly due to our tax climate. Therefore, a unique opportunity to buy a genuine Shelby GT 350. Added to this, the car is from the first owner and has low mileage. A high-revving V8 from the States is rare anyway. An American all-rounder that can easily compete with GT3s, M3s and AMGs. In the USA, the car was still a bargain at first. That is now a thing of the past. Even the Americans now recognise the unique (atmospheric) character of this track-focused supercar and are reaching deeper and deeper into their pockets to get their hands on one.

About the seller

Etienne bought his dream car new in America and then took it back from the States as removal goods. He bought it for its sound, looks, huge atmospheric power and driving characteristics and had it neatly maintained at the dealer. Due to frequent and long stays abroad for his work and the arrival of a small one, there is no more time for the Shelby and he is looking for a new lover for this future classic from America.
