Shelby GT350 1966 Red Wht Stripes

Shelby GT350 1966 Red W White Stripes

Only 1,377 of the 1966 GT350s were ever built. AFX is bringing them to you
in a special GT350 Series, in many of their color variations – like this
stunning Candy Apple Red with White Stripes which was only available on
21.5% of the total cars built.

To understand the significance of the 1966 GT350, you first have to know its
predecessor, the ’65. Famously driven by Mark Donohue. Mark was a
multi-talented racer and degreed engineer and had amassed a remarkable
record of championships, victories, and innovative cars developed across 8
different racing classes. But it was his 1965 race wins and SCCA Divisional
Championship in a Shelby GT350R that helped bring him to the attention of a
certain Roger Penske. This began a racing partnership that would yield
legendary race wins and success for many years. That win also set the
spotlight on the GT350Rs, becoming some of the most influential race cars
around.

While mechanical changes – such as the dash tach and some performance
upgrades distinguished the ’66 from the original ’65, it was the expansion
of exterior colors and the nuanced use of racing stripes that most visibly
defined the ’66 GT350. And though it wasn’t raced in any tournaments, its
power and prestige made it a popular choice for street racing.

Top racing stripes were optional, not standard equipment, so it is entirely
correct to see original cars either with or without stripes. We opted for
stripes.
