Legendary 1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback Sells for $990k at Auction

Описание: At the 2025 Mecum Kissimmee auction, an impeccably restored 1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback crossed the block, fetching an impressive $990,000. This SAAC Gold Concours-winning example stood out as one of the finest Shelby Mustangs in existence, boasting a factory-original matching-numbers 289/306 HP K-Code V-8 engine, an original T10-M 4-speed transmission, and a factory 3.89 Detroit Locker rear differential. Finished in its signature Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue LeMans stripes, the car showcased an extraordinary level of authenticity, retaining its original Shelby VIN tag and all Ford VINs. With a documented history that included 34 years of ownership prior to its meticulous restoration, this GT350 represented a rare and significant piece of American muscle car history.

Beyond its exceptional provenance, this 1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback had a rich history in the collector car world. It was prominently featured as a display car at SEMA for Koni, underscoring its top-tier restoration and mechanical excellence. Additionally, it gained recognition in the Shelby American Magazine's Summer 2014 issue, further cementing its status among Shelby enthusiasts. The car’s sale at nearly $1 million reflects both its historical significance and the increasing demand for top-tier, concours-quality Shelbys.

As one of the most iconic performance cars of the 1960s, this 1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback remains a true testament to Carroll Shelby’s vision, blending race-bred engineering with road-going performance in an unmistakable package.
