Ford Shelby Mustang - 1st Gen (1965 to 1966)

The first evolution of the First Generation Ford Shelby Mustang was offered for the 1965 and 1966 model years. These high performance cars were built by Shelby American using a standard Mustang as a base. For the first evolution of the 1st Gen Shelby Mustang, the GT350, GT350H, and GT350R variants were offered, both of which were only available in a fastback body style. Power for these cars came from Ford's 'K-Code" 289 cubic inch 'HiPo' V8 engine (4.7L), which was modified to generate 306hp. The 1965-1966 Ford Shelby Mustang was replaced by the 1967-1968 Ford Shelby Mustang.
