This 1970 GT350 is part of an interesting footnote in Shelby Mustang history. At the end of the original Shelby era, a number of 1969 Shelbys remained unsold heading into the 1970 model year. Instead of trying to market them as 1969 models, Ford sent the leftover Shelbys to contracted performance shop Kar Kraft, where they were updated into 1970 models with hood stripes, a front spoiler and new VIN. Only 789 were converted, including just 261 GT350 fastbacks like this example in Wimbledon White with blue stripes. With 12,557 believed-original miles, the Shelby features its matching-numbers 351 Windsor V-8 and many original components, including the Dark Red interior, Lucas fog lamps and 5-spoke Shelby Magstar wheels. According to its Elite Marti Report, the GT350 was shipped new to Ed Martin Inc. in Indianapolis with a 3-speed automatic transmission, 3.25 Traction-Lok differential, power steering and power front disc brakes. Like all 1968-70 Shelbys, the GT350 was completed on the A.O. Smith assembly line in Ionia, Michigan, where stripped-down Mustang SportsRoofs and convertibles received their unique Shelby components. For 1969-70, the Shelbys differed dramatically from standard Mustangs with a fiberglass nose, NACA-scooped hood, side scoops and a spoilered rear end with sequential Thunderbird tail lights and center-mounted exhaust port. Inside, the Deluxe Mustang interior was enhanced with a roll bar, unique 140 MPH speedometer and a console-mounted gauge pod for ammeter and oil pressure. Although not reflected in the final 290 HP rating, the factory 351W cast-iron intake manifold was replaced by a Shelby aluminum version topped by an Autolite 4-barrel carburetor and cold-air-induction air cleaner. One of just 32 Shelbys produced in Wimbledon White with a Dark Red interior and blue side stripes for 1970, this end-of-the-era GT350 is fitted with new Goodyear F60-15 Polyglas tires and comes with its original build sheet.
