Vehicle description

 (866) 723-9619 (866) 723-9619 1965 Shelby GT350 28000 Miles 289 K code 4 Speed Manual Exterior Color: White Interior Color: Black Transmission: 4 Speed Manual Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 289 K code Mileage: 28,000 An automotive legend and highly desired is this exceptional GT350, chassis SFM 5S089.  Carroll Shelby and his team loaded the GT350 with  suspension upgrades and improved safety equipment. The beefed up engine added approximately 35 horsepower over the standard Ford “Hi-Po” 289
V-8. The result was a production class-racing powerhouse.
Shelby American produced only 562 of these tough-and-ready GT350s in 1965. The GT350 remains an ever-popular choice for vintage racing and touring events around the world. 
Shelby-Ford Mustang 5S089 is one of the earliest examples produced and is known as one of the “double-digit” serial-number cars. These GT350s were the first 100 produced (numbers 015–113) for homologation purposes to qualify for SCCA racing. Due to the car’s early production sequence, this example benefits from the trunk-mounted battery, which appears (approximately) on serial numbers 001–338. In addition to the relocated battery, the early-production GT350s benefited from a fiberglass hood design and construction.
This exceptional early-build ’65 GT350 is presented without the usual twin racing stripes, but sporting modest steel wheels, a look which represented the purest form of the original GT350s, as seen in period PR photographs. Significant is the original body shell that displays the Shelby American modifications performed in just the one year of 1965. Historical research, along with supporting documentation, reveals that 5S089 was completed at Shelby American in late March 1965 and then shipped to the Ford Shelby dealership (Hayward Ford Motors) in Hayward, California, where it was sold to a local owner. This was an original California-built and -delivered car with original California black plates.
Tony Conover was commissioned to perform a very comprehensive, historically correct restoration in the mid-2000s. This outstanding GT350 has had a careful few miles since restoration. It presents in beautiful condition throughout and remains overwhelmingly authentic, including correct Goodyear Blue Dot tires and a four-speed T-10 aluminum-case manual transmission. The confidential Ford identification number has been verified with the SAAC, with a letter on file from Shelby Mustang registrar Howard Pardee, and this number can also be found stamped on the engine block pad, suggesting that this GT350 retains its original engine. The body has original, quarter panels, front inner fender panels are original and date coded correct with factory spot welds.
The 1965 Shelby GT350 is certainly classed in the upper echelon of American collectable automobiles. The opportunity to acquire an early-production, highly documented, authentic “two-digit” example such as this is rare and worthy of serious consideration for any collector or enthusiast.
