The incredibly rare 1965 Shelby GT350R is quite possibly the most sought after and valuable of all Shelby Mustangs with just 34 built.
They hardly ever come up for sale, and when they do they can get
near-seven figure prices. The car you see pictured here is one such
example, selling this week at the RM auction in Monterey, CA for an
incredible $990,000. The auction estimated the GT350R’s price tag to be
between $900,000 and $1,300,000, meaning someone got a fairly good deal
on a historic Mustang.
The Shelby GT350R that was sold, chassis number SFM5R106, is one of
the most original examples in existence with less than 4,900 miles and
the original engine and transmission. Originally owned by Richard
Jordan, the car was raced in Midwestern SCCA
national events until the early 1970s. After its racing career the car
was placed into storage until 1986 when it was purchased and restored.
Since that time the car has been perfectly maintained and is very
original down to its plexiglass and magnesium wheels. The original
Shelby American paperwork including invoices, titles, racing photos and
more remains with the car.
