55 years ago, Carroll Shelby put the foundation stone on the Mustang GT350
with his fastback coupe, which was driven to victory at Green Valley Raceway in
Texas on February 14, 1965, by Ken Miles. Now, Ford is celebrating that legacy
with the 2020 Mustang Shelby Heritage Edition Package.
Available
for US$ 1,965 for the Mustang GT350 and GT350R, which start at US$ 60,440 and US$ 73,435, respectively, excluding taxes and fees, it’s already up for grabs at
the company’s dealers across the nation and will enter production early next
year. The first cars equipped with the limited pack will be delivered to
customers next spring.
The
Heritage Edition muscle cars sport a Wimbledon White paint finish and are
adorned with Guardsman Blue side and over-the-top race stripes (white and blue
have been assigned as the nation’s international racing colors since the
1950s). They also boast special badges at both ends in Guardsman Blue, as well
as a unique logo inside. Furthermore, the GT350R adds black leather seats with
red accent stitching on the inside.
The
2020 Mustang Shelby GT350R was already updated earlier this year, while the
GT350 was tweaked in mid-2018.
