The Mustang rented by the Hertz Company in 1966 (a one year program) was not simply a dress-up package, but an actual Shelby American constructed fastback ponycar powered by a Shelby-tuned 289 CID V8 engine.
This example, chassis SFM6S828, was invoiced to the Hertz Corporation in February of 1966. It was refreshed in 1990 and is set-up as an authentic racecar. The body welds were reinforced during this reconstruction, and a full roll cage was added. Instrumentation, racing seats with full harnesses, fuel cell, LeMans endurance lights, and fire extinguishing system were also added at that time. It rides on 15x7 inch American Racing wheels. It has Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes, special rear drum linings and drums, dual brake boosters with proportioning valve, recirculating brake fluid system, and race-type brake fluid. It has Adjustable Koni shocks, 3.89:1 Detroit locker differential with forged half-shafts, watts bar link rear suspension, and competition front suspension with lowered A-arms and quick-ratio steering. It has a fiberglass hood, lightweight doors and windows, front apron, and R-model rear window and fender treatments.
The 289 CID V8 produces 415 horsepower, and has a steel crank, Crower rods, forged pistons, 750 CFM Holley, and Aviat oil pump. The engine is mated to a T10 close-ratio 4-speed gearbox.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2016
