Number 40 in production is offered here in this spectacular Silver GT350SR Fastback.

It boasts incredible handling, the result of highly modified steering and suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes and performance rubber on custom Foose wheels. Special body work, silver paint with blue racing stripes and Shelby markings ensure its identity. The car’s Shelby DNA is also evident in the sharp blue interior, which, in addition to air conditioning and custom sound, features Shelby instrumentation, controls and carpeting, as well as Shelby’s personal autograph on the glove box door. With just 700 miles since its completion, this unique GT350SR is titled and registered as a 1965 Ford Mustang with the original VIN.
