Shelby GT350 equipment included fixed rear quarter windows, a central hood scoop, hood pins, and fiberglass rear brake cooling ducts on the quarter panels. This example was last refinished in its factory red with white stripes in 1983 according to the the provided records. The seller states that the front part of the fiberglass hood was repaired on the underside.
Chrome 14″ Magnum 500 wheels are wrapped in 235/60 Goodyear Eagle ST tires with raised white letters. Shelby chassis modifications over the contemporary base Mustang included revised front suspension geometry, Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes, and larger rear brake drums.
The cabin features front bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl with a matching dash pad, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes pattered seat inserts, folding rear seats, lap belts, crank windows, rubber floor mats, and a Motorola AM/FM stereo. The glovebox door features Carroll Shelby’s signature. A separating seam is noted on the driver’s seat bottom.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel wears a Shelby horn button and frames a 140-mph speedometer positioned between gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, alternator charge, and coolant temperature. A Cobra-branded 9k-rpm tachometer is mounted to the top of the dashboard, and the five-digit odometer shows 58 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 289ci HiPo V8 features a Holley four-barrel carburetor on a high-rise aluminum intake manifold and was factory rated at 306 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Borg-Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission. The engine was removed and rebuilt during the 1983 refurbishment, and service in preparation for the sale consisted of a mechanical inspection and an oil change.

A copy of the Shelby American order sheet shows the car was sold to Broadway Motors in Kansas City, Missouri in 1966. With the optional fold-down rear seat and freight charge, the total price was $3,622.
