Body and Trim: Shelby's iconic GT line revolutionized the muscle car world with aggressive styling, and this GT350 proudly carries that legacy forward. This car underwent a full, nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, with its original sheet metal painstakingly restored to perfect fitment. The body was stripped and carefully reworked, using fiberglass enhancements like the KR-style hood, all finished in a glossy Spies Hecker 2-stage paint that shines with a mirror-like finish. The result is a show-stopping pony car that looks as good as it runs, ready to make an impression for years to come. Engine: Pop the hood, and you'll find a finely tuned 347 cubic inch small-block that packs a punch. It features a SCAT crank, SCAT rods, and a Lunati cam, making impressive power for a thrilling driving experience. At the top, the engine is topped with a Cobra air cleaner feeding a Holley 650 carburetor, and an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake feeding into Airflow Research 185 heads. The ignition is handled by an MSD Pro-Billet distributor, while exhaust gases flow through Jet-Hot coated Tri-Y headers. Cooling is managed by a Ron Davis Double Pass radiator, with dual SPAL fans keeping things chill. This engine bay is not only functional but beautifully detailed, showcasing polished reservoirs and clean, rebuilt components. Drivetrain and Suspension: Underneath, this Shelby is as solid as it is fast. The original frame has been upgraded with modern technology, combining the best of classic Shelby engineering with today's performance standards. A Tremec TKO600 5-speed transmission pairs with a hydraulically actuated King Cobra clutch, sending power to a strengthened Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.89 gears and a Truetrac differential. The suspension has been upgraded with a Global West setup, featuring reverse-eye leaf springs, adjustable QA-1 shocks, and Competition Engineering Slide-A-Link traction bars for improved handling. Up front, a Global West coil-over suspension is paired with tubular control arms and a large sway bar. Baer and Ford calipers provide superior braking performance, clamping down on drilled and slotted rotors for precise stopping power. This car is ready to take on tight corners and open roads alike. Interior: Step inside, and you'll find a restored cockpit that blends Shelby's original interior style with modern touches. The high-back bucket seats are upholstered in vinyl, featuring a Shelby roll bar for added safety. The dashboard houses the original Philco radio and factory gauges, while a Pro-5.0 shifter and Stewart Warner accessory gauges give a performance-oriented edge. A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits on a functional Tilt-Away Steering Column, making driving this car an experience that connects the driver to the road. The trunk is also fully restored, housing a compact spare tire and a fire extinguisher for peace of mind.
