This 1966 Shelby GT350-H, serial number SFM6S1618, is powered by its matching-numbers 289ci High-Performance V8 engine with its original drivetrain.

The car was completed on April 18, 1966, and delivered to Carroll Shelby’s High-Performance Motors in El Segundo, CA, for dealer preparation before being assigned to the Hertz Los Angeles Airport Agency for rental use.

It was sold in August 1967 and remained in Phoenix, AZ.

A concours restoration began in March 2024 using primarily restored original or NOS components and was completed in 2025 under the direction of the SAAC Head Judge for 1966 Shelbys, with the goal of creating the most accurate GT350-H restoration to date.

At SAAC-50 in Sonoma, CA, #1618 earned the Premier Award in Division 2, the highest honor in Shelby concours judging, and remains the only 1966 GT350 to receive this distinction.
