Crevier Classic cars is pleased to offer this 1966 Shelby GT350. #2345. Sold new at City Motors in National City, CA August 5th 1966 by its first owner, a local resident of San Diego, CA. The car remains a numberst matching example with its original engine and even its original as delivered color combination of Ivy Green with black interior. This is an original 4 speed car and not a conversion like several out there. The car was owned and rotisserie restored from the ground up by noted marque expert Drew Alcazar. This beautiful Southern California GT350 is absolutely laser straight and shows beautifully. The white le mans stipes highlight just how straight the body is with excellent gaps and is complimented by the 10 spoke alloy wheels. For 1966, the GT 350 lost its Mustang tag and was marketed simply as the Shelby GT 350. 1966 also saw the introduction of non-white colors, including blue, red, green and black. Other changes include special rear quarter-panel windows replacing the factory extractor vents, functional brake scoops on each side and optional automatic transmissions, as well as the addition of an optional Paxton supercharger. The battery was no longer relocated to the trunk for 1966, and the over-rider traction bars were discontinued. A fold-down rear seat was now optional. Where early 1965 cars had black engine blocks, 1966 and later cars had the 289 ci engine painted Ford dark blue. The 1966 Shelby had a full dual-exhaust. The 4-speed manual was no longer the only available transmission, with an optional SelectShift 3-speed automatic added.
