1966 Shelby GT-350H Hertz-Rent-a-Racer

Serial # SFM6S859

~ This is a Frame off Restored Original Shelby ~

Single Ownership from new in 1967 !

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a true one owner 1966 GT-350H from day 1 when purchased from Harris Ford in Lynnwood, Washington ! Serial # 6S859 was originally delivered to the Hertz Rental Fleet at the San Francisco Airport on February 9th, 1966. It was originally painted Ivy Green w/Gold side stripes,but no top side stripes. Once it was released from Hertz, it was sent to Harris Ford in July 1967 to be retailed. Mr.Bruce Mabbett came to Harris Ford to find a selection of about 10 cars in from Hertz for sale. All were dirty w/worn out tires...he chose this one because it seemed the cleanest out of the bunch. He just started working for Boeing Aircraft fresh out of school & had no money. He purchased it for $2995. w/about 12K miles on the odometer & left a $15.deposit to hold it & financed 100% thru Chattel Mortgage. While living in Seattle, it was Bruce's daily driver making many trips between Seattle & Vancouver. In 1969, Bruce moved back to his home in Canada. In 1971 he painted the car British Racing Green with white side stripes w/no "H" stating only GT-350 as it was not cool to drive an ex-Hertz rental car. In 1974, having already clocked 122K miles, Bruce had the motor rebuilt for the 1st time. In 1977, Bruce removed the original C-4 Automatic & put in a T-10 4 Spd. which remains today. He continued to drive the car daily but in 1979, he stopped using it in the winters. At that time he did a fairly extensive rebuild on the whole car & painted it back to the original Ivy Green w/gold stripes again. He also added a front end spoiler that was so "in vogue" at the time. We have since put back the original front valance. In 1986 Bruce added the 10 Spoke Shelby wheels, now returned to the original Magnum 500's. In 1987, Bruce decided to do a full frame off restoration & painted it Wimbledon White w/Blue stripes. The car has photo's of the car down to it's body & frame, completely redone from soup to nuts. This GT-350 now had a total of 193K miles & was now new condition for Mr.Mabbitt to drive another 200K BUT it was now only driven on weekends & to car shows...so only 12K miles were driven since being new again in 21 years. In 2005, Bruce rebuilt the original matching #'s 289 Hi-Po to new condition for a 3rd time. It has only 1300 miles on it since '05. Bruce occasionally autocrossed it on weekends but virtually stopped driving it all together. Today she's still in fabulous condition having all it's original sheet metal & floors, it is still a show car w/a nice patina & runs as good as any of the Shelby GT-350's we have ever had, of at a least a dozen over the years. You can spend the $10K. to make this Ivy Green again, but this White w/Blue combo is in exceptional show condition & is way to nice to redo. It's gorgeous ! Top that off with 41 years of single ownership, original bill of sale, finance contract, registration & photographed since 1972 (an envelope full of photos over the years is also included), this could be the most documented Hertz car on the planet. She's ready to drive anywhere to any Concours or Road Rally.
