Inside, the dash-mounted pod holds a tachometer and oil
pressure gauge to better monitor the engine.
The car was given an absolutely meticulous restoration in
2019, elevating it to its current upper-tier status. The concours
level was always the goal, and this car has the awards to prove
it made it. In July 2021 at the SAAC-46 convention in Sonoma,
California, this car was judged and earned a Concours Premier
Award. It followed that up in October at the Indiana SAAC
Fall Classic convention in French Lick, Indiana, where it won
another Concours Premier Award. The Premier Award is the
top award given to any Shelby judged at this level, putting
“No. 257” in exclusive company. It is one of only seven 1965
GT350s to ever earn the award.
Clearly, the competitive focus of this Shelby has now shifted
to the show field. But whether trackside or under the scrutiny
of show judges, this is one GT350 that has winner written all
over it.
