So infuriating. I am setting the over/under at 3 this summer. I am thinking about rapping it in some heat shield tape. Sorry for thread highjack.

It is trying to turn itself into a GT350R.

Maybe I should just strip out the AC and be happy with the extra 26 horses.

What's worse is I was taking a girl out to dinner.

She is a cool chic. I did roll the windows down. She is a biker so she was cool with the wind blowing.

The difference on the 2015s compared to a 2016 and later will mirror the difference between a 1965 and a 1966. The 66s do bring strong money, while the 65s bring extreme money, and pile on even more for an R model in either generations. And none of those came with AC, except the unicorn level 66 convertibles.

Did you see this one that crossed May 15, Harry? $1.1 million was the hammer price

Mark, my apologies for not responding sooner as I got caught up in a home project and just noticed your post a short while ago.

I missed the sale of SFM5039 therefore thanks for posting and what an outstanding example of a '65 Mustang Shelby GT350 and hard to imagine a nicer and more correct example being out there!

SFM5039 certainly checks all of the boxes and if you ever get an opportunity to experience a drive/ride in a '65 GT350 don't pass it up as it is something to behold.

The pure rawness and performance of the '65 Shelby GT350 is incredible along with the outstanding aural sound of the side exhaust and the interesting noises that the Detroit Locker 9-inch rear end makes under certain driving conditions is difficult to describe.

@falcongtho3

Have to agree with you that the 2015 Mustang Shelby GT350R and the 1965 Shelby GT350 models are in a league of their own in terms of value/price when compared to the follow production years.

Having said that, I suggest that the 252 "Carry Over" Shelby GT350 examples for the 1966 MY (all of which were assembled during the 1965 Mustang GT MY) are also in league of their own when compared to the other non-Carry Over GT350 examples for 1966.

Approximately 1/3 of the 252 Carry Over cars for 1966 came equipped with a rear Package Tray therefore they are true 2-seat units just like all of the '65 GT350 vehicles.

Great point regarding AC only being available on the 4 Experimental Prototype '66 Shelby GT350 convertibles and if I recall correctly 2 units came equipped with 4-speed manual transmissions (Sapphire Blue & Springtime Yellow) whereas the other 2 units came with automatic transmissions (Ivy Green & Red).

Attached a picture of myself standing behind the Ivy Green unit and in front of the Sapphire Blue example and was very excited to see those two and feel those 2 incredibly rare units some 10 years ago with those 2 units along with many other incredible vehicle including "F0037" from the 2015 GT350R model year.

If I recall correctly the Ivy Green unit sold at Mecum Indy in 2020 for the same price of $1.1 Million therefore how good was that!

That Sapphire Blue is such a beautiful color

Agreed on the Sapphire Blue and if the Ivy Green didn't have the Gold stripes it would be quite plain looking.

I agree w/PP001 that the carry over cars are quite special, and carry a value over 'regular' '66s. There is a very good German Mustang website that has a section dedicated to not only the four convertibles but also the two never built from that batch as well as the continuation cars Shelby commissioned later on.

Additionally there are two pictures on the page for the green car that I submitted from when I saw it it Dallas in 1980! That was my first SAAC meet, and one fully thing about those days. No one would talk to you or even look your way if you attended one of those meets in a replica (kit) Cobra or a GT350H. Seriously.
