Edmunds Inside Line is reporting that Ford insiders say that a new version of the Shelby GT350H Rent-A-Racer will be unvieled at the New York International Auto Show. Ford's plan for the latest retro vehicle is to produce a limited number of 2007 Shelby GT350H Mustangs and distribute them to select Hertz dealers across the country.



The 2007 Shelby GT350H will be painted Black with Gold stripes like the 1966 version and come with the 4.6-liter V8. The 4.6L engine will be tweaked a bit to produce around 320 horsepower along with adding intake and exhaust modifications.

History of GT350H:



In 1966 one thousand and one GT350's were sold to Hertz and given the title GT350H. Most of these cars were painted black with gold stripes and few received the 4-speed manual transmission, although the vast majority contained the automatic transmission. The GT350H came standard with chrome magnum 500 wheels. In April of '66, the Paxton supercharger was listed as an option.



Only six convertibles were produced, but none were made available to the public. All came with automatic transmissions as well as air conditioning. The side scoops, however, were not functional since they would interfere with the convertible top mechanism.

    Beautiful is all I can say! I am selling a pedal car version of the older 1965 Shelby GT 350 and it is a beauty too. I'm glad I found your site. I was looking around to see if you had any info on Shelby GT 350s.
