Description
At first glance, this might look like just another 1965 Shelby GT350, but it’s anything but. In this video, Peter Klutt takes a deep dive into an incredibly rare early, two-digit Shelby GT350, a car that represents one of the most important moments in American performance history.
These early ’65 cars, especially those within the first 100 produced, are fundamentally different from later GT350s. From unique undercarriage finishes and rare drivetrain components to early production quirks and period-correct details, this car showcases what makes the earliest Shelbys so special to collectors.
Peter walks through the subtle but critical differences that define these cars, including:
- Early production features found only on the first GT350s
- Rare and date-coded components that are nearly impossible to find today
- The craftsmanship and restoration work that separates a good car from a great one
- Why early cars are considered the most desirable Shelby Mustangs
Today, it stands as one of the most correct and well-preserved examples you’ll find.
As this Shelby heads to auction, the big question remains: could an early, two-digit GT350 like this set a new benchmark?
