Guys you just have changed my mind I started to search for something more simple looking, like the 1965 Shelby GT350

 

The hell, you're going to take advice from a guy who goes by roman numerals and a dude with a trademark symbol by his username?!?!?!

In general, the 350s will be a bit more fun to drive on the twisties because they do not have the weight of the big block up front. That's the biggest difference between the two. My dad actually bought his 67 GT500 because the owner wouldn't sell him his 66 GT350. Plus original 500s are not cheap. For 67s (like eleanor) with the 428s they are easily $125k cars, if you're lucky enough to track down one of the eight 427 cars, you're looking at over $250k. The difference in actual (not advertised) power is almost worth price.

 

Get a 65 GT 350 and put a T-5 IRS on it and you're good.

 

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to cstroked again.

good man, i actually like the GT350H look but those are fetching a pretty penny.

are you looking for one to drive or just collect? i still think if you're looking to drive you should build your own, would be better in every way performance wise and quite a bit cheaper, plus you wouldn't feel bad beating on it. there are plenty of rollers available in the states, if i were you i would do a ground up & keep it forever.

 

I'm your huckleberry.
I can build whatever you are looking for.

 

hello
I have one located in Los Angeles,ca
this car was built in 2005 by Unique Performance and is registered with the Shelby Register.
The car is like the one in Gone in Sixty Seconds grey with black stripes. The car has every possible option including automatic transmission and power brakes. I can send you pics and all build info if you are interested.
