Drove a Shelby Tribute fastback (K-Code) every day in Los Angeles for 3 years in the early-mid 90s. Sick daily driver. They would move Porsches and Ferraris at valet stands in Bev Hills and Bel Air to accommodate "Sno-Clone" in the primo spot out front. Sick sick ride.
This is my favorite Mustang, and my favorite classic car of all time. I built a 2008 Mustang GT, white of course, track car completely inspired by this car with all the equivalent upgrades Shelby did, and a few cosmetic features as well. Thanks for the video!
Cool Car for sure. I think i spotted what looks like a dash that came out of a XM or XP Ford Falcon same as we built in Australia. I guess Ford did not get to concerned about interiors of cars back then. I could not help notice as the car was driven out of the garage, the side pipe exhaust ?? Seems it,s a Concourse rebuild but the exhaust clamp looked a bit out of place under the side of the car. Looked like a bit temporary fix for the exhaust ?? ( maybe i am just to picky, lol )
Yeah, he called it a race car, but that’s not an R code, it’s the dealer version for public consumption. The competition cars did not have the pod on the dash, they had full integrated gauges. No carpet, no window regulators. Had plexi windows, with air relief out a slot across the top of the rear window (bought another 5 mph top speed and window restraint clips/ brackets to hold the window in. Fiberglass hood, Had hood pins for the trunk etc…. Seems I read it was something like 300 lbs lighter than the street GT. have a 66 fastback I’m doing a tribute car with. This is a nicely restored Gt 350 tho, impressive to have an actual Shelby like that, that many continents away from the factory (and you can make a helluva lot more power out of the “little 289”…)

The instrument cluster if straight off the 1965 Ford Falcon (North American version).

Wish you could have driven Joe"s 69 Boss 429.
It was a hard choice.
1965 GT-350 is a detuned race car for the street.

I know the difference between the street cars and the race cars.
