1969 Ford Shelby Mustang

This 1969 Shelby Mustang GT350 is an iconic American muscle car, which reportedly underwent some restorative maintenance in 2012. It is powered by a ‘numbers-matching’ 351 cubic-inch (5.7-litre) Windsor V8 with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and the GT350-exclusive aluminum Shelby intake, reportedly producing 290hp, which is sent to the rear wheels through a close-ratio top-loader four-speed manual transmission, and a Ford nine-inch Traction-Lok rear end with rebuilt 3.25 gears. According to the original build sheet and Marti Auto Works Report, this Shelby GT350 Mustang was assembled in Dearborn, Michigan on 13 January 1969, four days ahead of schedule, before being sold via Sexton Ford in Moline, Illinois. The odometer shows 86,577 miles, but this is not warranted. Build year: 1969 Resprayed in Candy Apple Red with yellow side stripes and ‘GT350’ decals, this Mustang rides on a set of 15-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with aluminium centre sections, polished edges, two-tone black and red centre caps, and BF Goodrich Radial T/A tyres. It features a functional ram air hood with five NACA scoops, under which sits a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a chrome FoMoCo breather, a GT350-exclusive aluminum Shelby intake, an Autolite ignition and Autolite coolant hoses. The car features rebuilt suspension, a stainless steel fuel tank, and a modern exhaust with Flowmaster dual chamber mufflers. Inside, it has a refurbished white Deluxe Clarion Knit vinyl interior with high-back bucket seats, restored gauges, re-chromed trim elements, and wood inlays on the dashboard and door cards. The factory specification included the Sport Deck rear seat, power front disc brakes, a tilt-away steering wheel, power ventilation and an AM radio. Accompanying the vehicle will be the original Ford Motor Company Build Sheet, a Deluxe Marti Report, a Shelby GT350 owner’s manual and a specification brochure.

This 1969 Shelby Mustang GT350 is an iconic American muscle car, which reportedly underwent some restorative maintenance in 2012. Boasting a desirable specification, it would make a fantastic addition to any collection of classic cars, and a head-turning weekend driver for any keen enthusiast.
