Sometimes life forces us to part with what we hold most dear. In this case, it is an original 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350, chassis number 137, now offered for sale after three years of careful ownership in Germany.

The car is presented in largely original condition and still carries the unmistakable aura of Carroll Shelby’s first true pony car transformation. Under the hood sits the legendary 289 HiPo V8, delivering the raw, high-revving performance that made the GT350 a race-bred machine straight from the showroom floor. Power is sent through a four-speed Borg Warner gearbox to a 9-inch rear axle with differential lock, while braking is handled by front discs and 11-inch rear drums. The car rides on 15-inch magnesium wheels, completing the authentic Shelby setup.

Shelby American built only 562 GT350s in 1965, making them some of the rarest and most desirable early Mustangs. They were designed with competition in mind, stripped of unnecessary weight and tuned for track duty. This example, number 137, represents one of those early builds that helped establish the Shelby legend on both road and racetrack. The car comes with a professional value report of €250,000 and is fully documented with German registration papers. Its white paint with blue Le Mans stripes, wood-rimmed steering wheel, and Cobra valve covers capture the essence of 1960s American performance at its most iconic. Find it for sale at €160,000 (today $188,000) here in Mullendorf, Austria.
