This 1969 Shelby GT350 is one of approximately 673 fastbacks produced for the model year. First delivered in Indianapolis, Indiana, the car was specified with Royal Maroon paintwork, a black interior, a 351ci V8 linked to an FMX automatic and a 3.25 Traction-Lok differential, and power steering and front disc brakes. In 2005, this car was restored by West Coast Restorations in Snohomish, Washington, and the seller acquired it in 2023. This Shelby GT350 is now offered with an Elite Marti report, the owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
The Shelby GT350 featured a fiberglass nose, front fenders, and a vented hood with NACA-style hood inlets as well as fog lights, quarter panel vents, Shelby badging, a trunk lid spoiler, and dual square center-exit exhaust outlets. This example is one of 165 that were specified in Royal Maroon, and it was restored in 2005.
Gray 15″ five-spoke Shelby wheels feature polished lips and spoke centers as well as black Shelby center caps, and they are mounted with Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin houses front bucket seats and a Sport Deck fold-down rear seat with black Corinthian vinyl accented by red stripes and Clarion knit inserts. Amenities include woodgrain trim, a clock mounted in the right side of the dashboard, a Shelby-specific center console, and a roll bar.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges displaying fuel level and coolant temperature. Additional auxiliary readouts are mounted forward of the gear shifter and indicate oil pressure and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 85k miles, approximately 15 of which were added under current ownership.
The 351ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, a ram-air intake assembly, and Cobra-script valve covers. Output was factory rated at 290 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque.
The three-speed FMX automatic transmission is linked to a 3.25 Traction-Lok differential.
The Elite Marti Report lists factory equipment, production figures, initial delivery to Ed Martin Inc. in Indianapolis, Indiana, and a build date of January 14, 1969.
A binder of records and historical photos is included with the car.
