1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Tribute - Supercharged
Carroll Shelby built only four 1966 GT350 Convertibles. They are the rarest and most sought-after of Shelby's high performance Mustangs. Powered by the 289 4V V8 and equipped with the Paxton Supercharger, these Shelby Mustangs were good for between 390-450Hp and could surge from 0–60 Mph in under six seconds with top speeds over 150 Mph. The heart of the GT350 was the K-code 4V 289 V8 which was fitted with solid lifter cam with adjustable rockers and four barrel carby plus a freer flowing exhaust.
Built by Peter Dout of Pete's Garage in Melbourne with assistance from Max Hayes of Vintique Moto, this Candy Apple Red Mustang has been built to faithfully replicate Shelby's GT 350 at a cost of well over $250,000..
Peter Dout used a late model 302ci Windsor block and boosted its capacity to 331ci using Scat crank and rods, Mahle pistons, special Comp Cams suited to the Paxton Supercharger, high flow Dart cylinder heads fed by a rare GT350 aluminium inlet manifold topped with a 650cfm Holley specially modified to cope with the boost from the blower.
Exhaust is via a set of Doug's Headers and twin 2 1/2" pipes. Power goes to the ground via a close ratio 4 speed Top Loader gearbox with Hurst shifter and then to a factory K code 9" diff with 3.25 ratio's. Braking is handled via factory Kelsey Hayes four piston calipers hooked up to a modern Falcon brake booster (hidden in the front guard) and larger than stock rear drums and brake shoes.
On the inside, the Shelby GT350 is as per factory specifications with black vinyl trim, sports wood grain steering wheel and a modern Dakota digital dash for 100% accurate readouts. The Convertible hood is electronically controlled with a dash mounted switch making this the ultimate summer cruiser.
The Mustang's suspension has also been fully rebuilt, lowered to Shelby height specs with sturdy sway arms and quality adjustable Koni shocks all round. The right hand drive conversion has been professionally modified and looks like it was factory installed. The underside has been fully detailed with factory correct red oxide.
The Shelby GT350 is riding on Period Magnum 500's with BF Goodrich 225/60R15 tyres.
