Shelby 350-H

Sure it was a rental car but if you had an older one to gone it this would be super cool!

I dont see why you would get this over a used GT350 for the same price.

The GT-Hs aren't GT350s. They're GTs with an exhaust, some suspension bits and cosmetic parts with the Shelby name slapped on.

It's a Shelby GT-H, not a GT350-H.

Okay okay. I was wrong. I am capable of admitting that.

I don't see how these minor changes make it 18K over what a comparable used GT. I suppose they're "somewhat" collectible, but then again, it's from a rental fleet and likely has had all abuse associated with the moniker.

If it's anything like the early S-197 Shelby GT the hood is twice as heavy as stock...at least.

I've rented three of these cars now and let me tell every one has been beat to hell (missing splitters... scratches... small dents... swapped out tires - someone probably stole the MPS's on that one). I laughed when the guy at Hertz told me what they're trying to sell them for.

They also treat you like a criminal when you rent these. They want 2 credit cards (with a huge deposit) and multiple ID's. Then when you return the car they scan over every inch making sure you didn't steal or damage something. You essentially have to get the insurance as it's hard to tell what wasn't already damaged..

That said... they're a lot of fun... I highly recommend renting one and driving the wheels off it all day if you get the chance.

Renting these is also a big part of why I just bought my own S550 and am modding it to be very similar to those GT-Hs.

There is one at a dealer not far from where I work. Seems they are asking $55K for it. The pictures on their website show the front rotors with grooves in them....and not the good kind.......I'd be scared to death of how that car had beaten-on.

Good info here. Hertz rents GT premiums with no hassle.
