For more information on this vehicle visit tinyurl.com With solid, recently restored Arizona sheet metal, a fire-breathing small block 302 and a striking new interior, this ’65 Mustang GT350-H tribute is the ULTIMATE way to enjoy the classic car hobby! Hitting the desert roads as a run of the mill fastback and then spending 25 years of its life in carefully guarded dry storage, this solid ’65 Mustang would prove the perfect starting point for a top notch Shelby GT350-H conversion. Its rotisserie restoration began with hours spent massaging its solid panels into a completely wave-free and arrow straight canvas. Once that intense labor and high quality detail work resulted in excellent fit and finish, a smooth and glossy coat of black RM urethane was adorned with Metallic gold stripes, sealed in a durable Diamont clearcoat shell, and accented with correctly stenciled “GT 350 H” side stripes. Pull the pins on the car’s solid steel hood and you’ll find a 302 cubic inch Ford V8 which has been rebuilt, beefed up and bathed in a slick coat of jet black paint. At the top of that hot smallblock, air flows from a fully functional hood scoop into a chrome, freshly decaled air cleaner which rides on a giant 4-barrel carburetor.

The first 100 1966 GT350H models were ordered with 4-speed transmissions.

Hertz and Ford rethought the program after 85 of the cars were delivered and decided to run with automatic transmissions for the remainder of the build cycle. All of the 4-speed cars sported a Raven black exterior.The 4 speed model is very rare and was only in black!!
The automatics were for the next generation Hurst Mustang gt350 ,The original 1966 models from
Hurst were in fact 4 speed,I stand corrected.
If you look on you tube at” Factory Tour: Shelby Hertz GT350H” the factory foreman at Hertz says they were all automatics all 1001 0f them built for Hertz, so they could not be raced!!
These cars were bought from Shelby and than converted to Hertz GT350′H
I believe that all the true Shelby Hurst Mustangs were all automatic,as they were rent a cars and Hurst did not want to have them raced on the weekends. Please tell me if I am wrong on this but I had a friend who had one of these and it was automatic , and he said that was only way they came from Hurst rent a car.
