1965 Shelby Mustang GT350


As if the production Mustang wasn't hot enough, legendary Texas tuner Carroll Shelby collaborated with Ford in 1965 on these special GT350 models. These were basically street-legal versions of Shelby's GT350R race car, powered by Ford's 289 Hi-Po small-block. The legend grew the following year when rental company Hertz snapped up some Shelbys as part of their "Rent-a-Racer" program. Some were apparently returned with their high-power engines myseriously swapped out. Huh.
