This 1965 Fastback is undergoing our full nut and bolt rotisserie restoration and will be a tribute of the famous Shelby GT350. This was the first year that the GT350 was produced and is regarded by some as being the best. It will be finished in period correct Wimbledon White (Dupont) paint with Blue LeMans Stripes. The new black leather interior will be complemented by a Mota-Lita steering wheel. With a fully rebuilt and balanced high performance engine, this car’s new owner will get to relive the excitement this model created when launched as he grips the Mota-Lita steering wheel and fires up the engine.
