Originally finished in Ivy Green, the car is said to have been refinished in its current shade of Wimbledon White in 1981. Imperfections in the finish and trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below. Features include blue Le Mans stripes, a steel-framed fiberglass hood with a scoop and retaining pins, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the quarter panels, a driver’s side mirror, and a fender-mounted antenna.

Originally finished in Ivy Green, the car is said to have been refinished in its current shade of Wimbledon White in 1981. Imperfections in the finish and trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below. Features include blue Le Mans stripes, a steel-framed fiberglass hood with a scoop and retaining pins, fixed plexiglass rear quarter windows, fiberglass brake-cooling scoops on the quarter panels, a driver’s side mirror, and a fender-mounted antenna.
Ten-spoke 14″ alloy wheels were optional for the GT350 in 1966 and are wrapped in Goodyear Radial T/A white-letter tires measuring 205/70 at each corner. A trunk-mounted chrome Magnum 500-style spare wears older Goodyear Blue Streak rubber. Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes were standard on GT350s, as were larger rear drum brakes than those used on contemporary standard Mustang models.
The cabin is trimmed in black knit vinyl over the front bucket seats and optional fold-down rear seat, with color-matched trim over the door panels. Additional features include black loop carpeting, black rubber front floor mats, Ray Brown Automotive latch-and-link front lap belts, lift-latch rear lap belts, and a pushbutton AM radio.
The woodgrain-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a 140-mph speedometer flanked by gauges monitoring fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature, while a 9k-rpm tachometer is situated atop the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 800 miles and is said to have turned over. Approximately 900 miles have been added under current ownership.
The 289ci HiPo V8 was refreshed between 2016 and 2017 before being again overhauled in 2023 with work including boring and honing of the block, grinding of the valves and seats, decking of the mating surfaces, and replacement of the pistons. A specification sheet supplied with the 2023 overhaul is viewable in the gallery below. Features include a four-barrel carburetor, a high-rise intake manifold, and ribbed aluminum Cobra valve covers.
The three-speed automatic transmission was overhauled in 2016 by Rod’s Transmission Services in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, with a replacement torque converter, direct clutch drum, vacuum modulator, reverse servo, and intermediate and reverse bands. A remanufactured pump assembly was installed, and the valve body was serviced. The GT350’s suspension system features Koni shock absorbers all around as well as override rear traction bars and a larger front sway bar than the standard Mustang.
