SPECIFICATIONS Year 1965 Make Ford Mustang Model GT350R Competition Replica VIN 5R09A235901 Mileage 2,793 Engine 347 cid Cylinders V8 Transmission 5 Speed Manual Title Clear Color Wimbledon White Interior Color Black DESCRIPTION With Carroll Shelby ‘s business, Shelby-American based in Los Angeles, already successful with its reputation for producing huge power from small cars, it was high on Ford Motor Company’s list to see what he could do with their new Mustang.
Ford was tired of the Chevrolet Corvette seeing podium finishes at the track and needed the Mustang to change that.
To meet SCCA racing guidelines, a race version must have no less than 100 production models built at a Ford facility to be available for the public to purchase.
Ford sent all 100 cars direct to Los Angeles for Shelby to tweak into the now famous GT350.
Of those, a select 36 were tuned into the track-ready “R” model.
The “R” stood for Race! It was stripped of as much weight as possible.
No rear seat, all Plexiglas windows with exception to the windshield, no necessity items whatsoever! The 289 was tuned to its absolute peak and went on to win the 1965, 1966, and 1967 B-Class SCCA Championships!

Shelby, they stripped it of all unnecessary weight.
