As the '65 Mustang production year wound down, Shelby American was busy planning the release of the new '66 GT350 Shelby. The new model would feature several changes from the '65 including side mounted rear brake scoops, plexiglass quarter windows, a different dash mounting tachometer, the new '66 Mustang grill, and more. Since the production of the 1966 Mustangs would not start up until mid-August of 1965, Shelby ordered 250 1965 Mustangs in order to get a jump on the production of the new model 1966 Shelby.
These 250 cars, along with 2 prototypes, have recently been referred to as "Carryover" cars. They are quite unique in that they are actually '65 Mustangs. They feature '65 interiors and '65 GT gauge packages along with the associated unique wiring. There are other differences, and you can learn more by clicking here to visit www.CarryoverGT350.com.

It is currently running a Mexican block 302 with a 289 crankshaft, but comes with the all important original 289 High Performance with the Ford VIN stamping. The unique close ratio aluminum T10 transmission is also included and has been rebuilt. The original date coded rear end center section is also included.

Tasteful changes have been made to enhance the driving experience including a great sounding side exhaust system with a custom x-pipe, a '65 style real wood steering wheel, and bolt on performance suspension pieces. The original suspension pieces and steering wheel are included. These parts, along with a rear exiting exhaust, would be super easy to install if you have a preference for a totally stock GT350.
