MENTARI777 Unquestioned thoroughbreds, the 1965-66 GT-350s remain some of the hairiest and most memorable American cars ever built -- and always will. Other GT-350s continued racing and winning in '66, but they were essentially the cars that had competed the previous year, as no '66 R-models were built. It was born of Dearborn's desire to give its new 1965 "ponycar" a solid performance image, and it did precisely that by reigning as national Sports Car Club of America B-production champion for three years in a row (1965-67). Shelby applied a "High-Riser" manifold, big four-barrel carb, hot cam, and free-flow exhaust headers, plus trailing arms to locate a rear axle borrowed from Ford's big Galaxie to replace the stock, light-duty Falcon assembly. But that's only as it should be. All this reduced curb weight by some 300 pounds. Shelby's most popular project from a sales standpoint was the GT-350, a super-tuned version of the Ford Mustang.|{101|A hundred and one|One hundred and one|One zero one} {Ideas|Concepts|Ideas} For Slot Joker
