1965 Shelby G.T.350R Fastback

Bless Carol Shelby’s incessant quest to find the ultimate intersection of unrelenting power and uncompromised poise. The Texan and his company manufactured 572 examples of the 1969 G.T.350R Fastback, with that “R” standing for “Race Spec,” indicating that the car complied with all the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) racing rules.

You could snap one up at the dealership and be at the track, turning laps, that very afternoon. One of the examples was the winningest car in 1968, when it placed first in 32 of 54 SCCA races.
