Rare pony 1 of 476 total production of Mustangs with this Engine.
1 of 76 California Special with this Engine. Elite Marti Report states 1 of 1 with this equipment. California black plate and docs going back to 76 in my possession.

Engine rebuilt approx. 3500 miles ago, recent paint/stripes installed.
Over $12,000 spent from rebuilding the engine, to transmission, shocks, new exhaust and suspension pieces from previous owner. I have installed new coolant lines to transmission, new coolant lines to radiator, new battery, new front springs, various front suspension pieces, power brakes, voltage regulator, Shelby wheels with BF Goodrich Tires, Engine Dress up kit, all original parts go with the car. I am in the process of re-doing the dash and have all parts to complete that with new seat covers and new carpet bought here in the forum. I also bought new trim for wheel wells and roof trim.

Driver condition, has come a long way since my last two plus years.

I have found a 1968 Shelby GT350 HERTZ car in decent shape but still needs a lot of TLC.

I will still come here to keep up with these wonderful cars.

Congrats. Randy,
We need pictures! I did not know that there were 68 Hertz Shelbys? Marty

Well, she made it back safe and sound to VA.
Randy, great meeting you and best of luck with the Shelby. She's a beauty.
Lots of great compliments from the neighbors so far and looking to finally take her out this weekend now that the weather is cooperating.

Cheers!

Also, I've been reviewing this forum for a while and glad to finally make my first post (of many)!

Congratulations! You're going to love that car. And welcome to our site. Lots of good folks & information here.
I go to Alexandria 3 or 4 times a year to visit my daughter & family (especially grand children!). It would be nice to meet you (and admire your new car)

Maybe you two can pick up Rich and caravan to Denver in 2011. That sight would blow some east-coast minds!

Welcome to the site NosAvrenim!!!:smile:

Here is a quick peek of my new toy. It needs lots of work and my GT/CS was 10 times better shape!

Road trips can be great fun, but those 390's DO use a lot of fuel...I know this because I have been out of gas along the road being passed by Amish buggies when I thought I must have at least a quarter of a tank left!!

Good point. That's why I've been considering the 22gal fuel tank mod from the May '10 issue of Mustang Monthly. Won't help on mpg, but maybe I'll go longer between fill-ups (depending on how heavy my foot is).

As long as you don't get farther away from the gas station before you run out. ;-) Guess it's all in how you look at it.

I've only run out of gas once in my life. She was so pretty I couldn't take my eyes off her and never looked at the gas guage, got a nice walk with her until some preacher picked us up and gave us a ride. Pretty good day actually.

Most of you have heard my run out of gas story before. My buddies CS died within sight of the gas station. After a short debate, pulled the bottle of Everclear out from under the seat and poured it in the tank. Car started and ran--really good actually. I stopped drinking Everclear that night. Didn't want to drink anything that made a car run.

Wow Randy! What a beautiful Shelby!

Wow Randy! What a beautiful Shelby!


I totally agree Rhonda! That is one beautiful Shelby. My dream, I repeat, dream car is the '68.5 Mustang Shelby GT500KR black on black. I woulda drooled on a nice blue one I saw in the Galpin Auto Sports museum the day of the GT/CS 40th celebration if it wasn't roped off!

Enjoy it Randy and mos def let us know how things progress w/her.

You bet! I have worked out specifics for my engine rebuild and will start next week. Bought all I need to get it going, boy parts add up. Good part is my familiarity with 68's helps on this car, most everything is the same.
