The 2011 Shelby GT350 starts life as a standard 2011 Ford Mustang GT, which is either shipped directly from the Flat Rock, Michigan, Mustang assembly plant or from a new Ford dealer. Shelby American then takes the “secretary’s car,” as Shelby himself calls the Mustang GT, and adds a Ford Racing/Whipple supercharger, Borla center exit exhaust, Cragar 19-inch wheels and Baer brakes to create a roughly 500-horsepower reborn GT350. Unique GT350 valve covers set off the underhood appearance.
A six-speed manual is the only available transmission.
The custom body is swathed in white paint with Guardsman racing stripes – like the original GT350 race cars – and includes a unique bodykit designed by former Ford and Hot Wheels designer Larry Wood. The look is designed to blend styling cues of the past with the 2011 Mustang shape, and it includes a unique front fascia, tail light trim, front splitter, rear deck lid filler panel, rear fascia, functional rocker and hood scoops and GT350 badging.
“In 1964, Ford Motor Company asked Shelby American to turn their secretary’s car into a race winner to help them sell Mustangs,” said Carroll Shelby in a statement released to the media. “Our Shelby GT350 ruled its class at the track and was feared by GM and Chrysler owners on the street. Enthusiasts have anticipated the GT350’s return since it went out of production in 1970. Now my band of hot rodders has created a car worthy of the name.”
The 2011 Shelby GT350 adds $33,995 to the price of a standard 2011 Ford Mustang GT.
