1970 Shelby GT350

  The 1970 Shelby GT350 represents the conclusion of one of the most important chapters in American performance-car history. Combining Carroll Shelby’s competition-inspired identity with the comfort and refinement of Ford’s evolving Mustang platform, the GT350 offered buyers a distinctive blend of muscular styling, strong V8 performance and genuine grand-touring capability. Today, these final-year Shelby Mustangs are prized for their limited production, unmistakable appearance and historical significance.

  This exceptional 1970 Shelby GT350 Convertible is believed to be a one-of-one example in its factory configuration. Finished in striking Gulfstream Aqua and equipped with the highly desirable four-speed manual transmission and factory air conditioning, it represents one of the rarest specifications offered. It is one of only 14 examples painted Gulfstream Aqua and one of just four fitted with a four-speed manual transmission.

  Built on May 7, 1969, this GT350 was sold new through Canyon Ford in Phoenix, Arizona. Its attractive Gulfstream Aqua finish, open convertible bodywork and performance-oriented manual transmission are complemented by the comfort of factory air conditioning, creating an exceptionally rare combination of performance, style and usability.

  What makes this Shelby particularly remarkable is its extraordinary state of preservation. Never restored and incredibly original throughout, it offers the authenticity that can only be found in a carefully preserved survivor. Its original undercarriage still displays factory assembly-line markings, providing an invaluable reference to how these cars were originally constructed and finished.

  This important GT350 is accompanied by its build sheet and a Deluxe Marti Report, and its history is documented in the Shelby Registry. Combining one-of-one specifications, exceptional originality, desirable factory colours and outstanding documentation, this Gulfstream Aqua GT350 Convertible represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most compelling final-year Shelby Mustangs in existence.
