A Legendary Mustang

Ford's GT350 is a legendary Mustang release that saw very limited production numbers. In 1965, Ford produced just 572 total, 34 of which were race-spec. Needless to say, those race-spec GT350s are exceptionally rare and equally as expensive.

Stuffed with 4.9Ls of V8 Power

This GT350 began life as a standard fastback Mustang. It was purchased in 2011 and received over $50,000 in work from Maeco Motorsports in California who dropped in a 4.9 L Ford Racing V8 along with a plethora of other racing parts.

Four on the Floor

This GT350 replica is fitted with CP Carrillo connecting rods, Manley intake and exhaust valves, a Bryant Racing crankshaft, Holley 800-cfm carburetor, and an Edelbrock dual-plane intake manifold.

The V8 powerplant is paired to a 4-speed Toploader manual transmission and sends power to the rear wheels with a final drive ratio of 3.70:1

The Yellow One

While there are no official horsepower numbers, this replica likely makes over 400. The chassis is fitted with a fiberglass hood, plexiglass windows, a roll cage, and sits atop racing suspension. The GT350 rides on 15-in American Racing wheels and features dual racing stripes over distinct yellow paintwork as opposed to the traditional blue and white.

Track Proven

Despite its immaculate appearance and low mileage (19k), this GT350 replica has proven itself on the track over 15 times, evidence of which can be seen in a two-minute video filmed at Laguna Seca.

The replica was recently sold on Bring a Trailer for $59,500, but it's arguably worth so much more.
