1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H Homage 289 V8 T5 Manual. Finished in Raven Black with painted gold Le Mans stripes and GT350H graphics, this Shelby GT350H ‘Rent-A-Racer’ Homage is a beautifully built example that reportedly underwent a meticulous ten-year restoration. It is understood to have remained with its original owner in Tennessee prior to its importation into the UK.
The body was stripped and restored on a rotisserie with considerable attention to detail, resulting in excellent panel fit and a beautifully presented body. Finished in deep Raven Black with the gold Le Mans stripes painted beneath the clear coat, the paintwork has an exceptional depth of finish. Exterior details include the correct bonnet scoop, Shelby side scoops, quarter windows, bullet-style mirrors, GT350H graphics and Shelby badging, all combining to recreate the unmistakable appearance of the legendary Hertz ‘Rent-A-Racer’.
Sitting on 18-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, the car perfectly blends classic Shelby styling with modern grip and road manners. Behind the wheels are Baer power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted discs, providing braking performance to match the car’s upgraded mechanical specification.
Power comes from the 289 V8 fitted with an Edelbrock aluminium intake manifold, Holley carburettor, electronic ignition, chrome rocker covers, aluminium radiator and under-dash air conditioning, paired with a T5 five-speed manual gearbox. Power is delivered through a Ford 9-inch rear axle fitted with a limited-slip differential, whilst coated headers feed into a Flowmaster Performance dual exhaust system, producing a deep, unmistakable V8 soundtrack.
The suspension has been comprehensively rebuilt with upgraded components throughout to improve drivability whilst retaining the character of the original Mustang. The underside presents to an exceptional standard, displaying beautifully restored floors, solid chassis rails and a highly detailed finish throughout, reflecting the quality of the restoration carried out.
Inside, the cabin follows the GT350 theme with a Shelby-style rear seat delete, roll bar, Moto-Lita polished wood-rim steering wheel, upgraded gauges, under-dash air conditioning, AM/FM radio and black bucket seats, creating a purposeful yet comfortable driving environment that perfectly complements the exterior.
This is a particularly well-executed and thoughtfully upgraded Mustang, combining the unmistakable styling of the Shelby GT350H with carefully chosen mechanical improvements that significantly enhance both usability and driving enjoyment. The T5 five-speed gearbox, Baer four-wheel disc brakes, Ford 9-inch limited-slip differential, Michelin Pilot Sport tyre package and beautifully restored rotisserie-built chassis make this a genuinely capable fast-road Mustang, whilst retaining all the character, presence and visual appeal that made the original GT350H ‘Rent-A-Racer’ such an icon, this is an exceptional example that offers the very best of classic Mustang styling together with the confidence, performance and usability of a carefully engineered Restomod.
