Alongside major updates to the Mustang, Shelby unveiled a comprehensive facelift for their GT350 and GT500 models. Ford's influence grew stronger, with corporate executives prioritizing enhanced grand touring comfort over the car’s original track-oriented design. As a result, these updates transformed the vehicles into far more enjoyable streetcars. Featuring a standard deluxe interior and a range of optional extras, the 1969 Shelbys marked the end of the original Shelby Mustang era. Powered by a 351ci Windsor V8, advertised to produce 290hp, and available with either manual or automatic transmissions, their performance rivaled that of other small-block muscle cars of the time. With just 1,085 GT350 Fastbacks produced, these models are increasingly sought after by collectors. Their unique design ensures that a 1969 Shelby stands out in any prestigious collection. The remarkable 1969 Shelby GT350 Fastback highlighted here boasts an eye-catching factory color combination of Royal Maroon with Gold stripes, complemented by a stunning Black deluxe interior. Sold new at Hysen-Johnson Ford in San Luis Obispo, California, this car has remained with California owners throughout its life. It has undergone a thorough restoration to an exceptional standard, making it one of the finest examples we’ve encountered. Accompanying this investment-grade Shelby GT350 are its original build sheet order forms, a Carroll Shelby-signed owner’s manual, and a deluxe Marti report verifying its award-winning status. This Shelby has also received the prestigious first-place award at the Shelby National Meet, making it an ideal addition to any top-tier collection. We are excited to present this stunning GT350 to discerning collectors, investors, or enthusiasts who seek only the very best!
