1,500-Mile 2006 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H
Description
In September 1965, Shelby American made a deal with Hertz Rent-A-Car to produce a special Mustang GT350, the GT350H. Most of the Hertz Shelbys were Raven Black with Bronze Powder side and Le Mans stripes. The first 85 cars built by Shelby had the standard 4-speed, but since not every potential renter could drive stick shift, subsequent GT350H cars had automatics. Ford said, “The idea was to put high-performance, special-edition Shelby Mustang GT350s into the hands of racing enthusiast-minded rental customers.”
In 2006 Carroll Shelby returned to Ford for the first time in decades. Their first collaboration was the Mustang Shelby GT-H, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the GT350H Mustangs. Shelby American in Las Vegas, Nevada, created GT-H Mustangs built on the new S197 platform. The new Shelby had the familiar Shadow Black paint with gold stripes of the originals and was equipped with the optional FR1 Power Pack for an additional 25 hp, and the FR3 Ford Racing Handling Pack. Shelby also replaced the standard 3.31:1 rear with 3.55:1 gears. Retro-themed Shelby grille, hood, and side brake scoops completed the look. The 500 cars were only available for rental from Hertz.
At age 83, Carroll Shelby was back building Mustangs — and this one, 06H472, has seen just 1,519 actual miles, and was used strictly for promotional purposes and never rented.
