Shelby Mustangs

Automobile racer Carroll Shelby transformed a conventional Mustang into a serious track racer designated as the "GT-350".

The fastbacks were shipped from the San Jose, California assembly plant and fitted with a "Hi-Po" 289, 4-speed manual transmission, and included front disc brakes and heavy duty rear drum brakes.

Additionally, shortened hoods and deleted rear seats with identifying trim were among the visual variations.

These select Mustangs were converted to street, road racing, and drag cars in Shelby's plant at Los Angeles International Airport.
