1966 Shelby Mustang GT350.CR

 

1966 GT350.CR Shelby Mustang Prototype for sale in Draper, UT 84020

The folks at Shelby have made it possible for automobile enthusiasts to revisit one of the rarest creations of the Shelby Mustang Program, the 1966 G.T.350 convertible.  Manufactured for Shelby by Wilhelm Motor Works, the car combines the muscular pedigree of Shelby with America’s most loved car, the Ford Mustang.

History

According to the Shelby American World Registry, only 4 of these cars were made. “We were originally told it was six.  But I suspect Shelby actually said something like ‘about a half a dozen’ and that translated into 6,” stated Rick Kopec, originator of the Registry.  “When we finally found factory paperwork that showed the total production, the number was, in fact, 4.  That is now the officially accepted number – backed up by factory work and shipping invoices.”

 

In 1981, Carroll Shelby realized that the only car he had built that he didn’t have for his personal collection, was the 1966 convertible.  He contacted some noted Mustang restorers, and asked them if they would build 4 cars (one for him, and three for gifts) under his old Ford/Shelby license.  Those cars were the first of the effort to bring back more Shelby Mustangs.  This precedence set the scene for the current Continuation Shelby Mustang Program, now called the G.T.350C.

 

“The G.T.350C, set up to resemble closely the originals, is a great car to drive,” added Jon Wilhelm, CEO of Wilhelm Motor Works. The car is called the “C”, designated for the convertible option.  The G.T.350C is built to satisfy the most demanding enthusiast under the sun!
