After the new Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964, a guy from Texas by the name of Carroll Shelby was called upon to build on the Ford Total Performance theme. Ford knew their Mustang needed a boost, even though over a million were sold in the first 18 months of production. Quite simply, many thought of the Mustang as a cute secretary's car, one that did not promote the excitement that would spur even more sales.
With the introduction of the high-performance K-code 289 V8, Shelby knew he could take things a step further, accepting the challenge, albeit reluctantly. He had spent considerable time working with a variety of high-revving Ford engines, and he had contacts with the Sports Car Club of America headquarters at LAX, he would take mundane Mustangs and create SCCA-eligible screamers that would not only be competitive, but would draw attention that would drive sales.
This 1966 GT 350 is one of 28 built in Raven Black, with just seven wearing factory-applied white stripes. Affectionately dubbed 'Skunky' for obvious reasons, it was purchased new in 1966 by a rocket scientist who kept it for 28 years, keeping meticulous records during his tenure. Unrestored and nearly all original, it now has 59,000 miles on the odometer and enjoys life exactly as it was meant to: being raced and driven on a regular basis.
