Hertz corporation ordered 1,001 of the G.T. 350s to offer as rentals. The side stripes read “G.T. 350H”, but the cars became know as “Rent-a-Racers.” Some cunning Mustang owners would rent the Shelbys, swap the motor with the motor in their Mustangs, and return them to Hertz. At $17 per day and 17 cents per mile, it was a good bargain for a Shelby engine. It was “uncool” to own a former rental car, so many of the cars were debadged after they were decommissioned. Thanks to the Shelby American Automobile Association, however, many of these cars have been found. More than 800 were made in black, and the other 200 or so were divided between red, green, blue, and white. Only the black models and a few white ones had stripes on the hood, but many owners added them to the other cars during restoration.- AP

Overall the paint is in excellent condition. There are only a few nicks but nothing that can be seen from more than a close inspection. While taking these photo’s I had 4 different individuals stop to ask questions and take pictures of the car. It is that gorgeous. All panels fit excellent. Doors do not drop or sag when opened and shut with ease.

The car appears to have never had any rust to start with. The rockers and door jambs are all excellent. Interior carpets, floor mats, leather seats and headliner are all exceptional. The dash is crack free as well as the console. Doors open and close with ease and the window’s roll up and down with a tight seal. All chrome is beautiful both inside and out.
