The Shelby GT 350 S, first non white GT 350, it was the Paxton prototype. By the time production would have started the idea changed to an option

Click on the image for the full size to read the writing, but basically it's a publicity-press release shot in the event that the GT 350 S were put into production, like the GT 350 H (Hertz rent a racer program)

Original owner still drives her 1966 Mustang

The car in front of the stang is her Mom's Rambler Ambassador. She still drives it occasionally too. Right now it's got a leaky valve guide issue

She bought the stang when her MG wasn't making her happy with the lack of luggage space on her frequent cross country trips, she'd bought an MG in 1956 when she was fed up with a Hillman not having enough power to take a decent grade hill with speed.

In her own words:

Coast to coast, and to every state capitol, the High Five Tour 2011 is out to raise funds and awareness

HIGH FIVE TOUR On June 22, 2011 we will gallop across America in our 2011 Shelby Mustang GT-500 to thank Americans for their support of our military families and to raise funds and awareness for the mission of Wounded Warriors Family Support: Provide support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations.

Our 50 state capitol city drive/fly road trip is real street level engagement designed to meet as many Americans as possible and thank them for their support of our military families who have given so much.

Shelby Comet. Never heard of that, have you? Did you hear of the Shelby Europa? 14 made

Shelby Europa were just getting started by Claude Dubois, who raced a Ford of Antwerp Shelby Gt 350 in Spa in 1967. They came directly from Ford as semi-finished and completed by Dubois. Now it was not very many, 1971 and 72 made a total of just 14 pieces, including two convertibles.

There are eight survivors, three of were in Sweden, then Norway, then to Finland.

Well, so was there a special European-Shelby prototype, GT250, a 1971 Mercury Comet that Claude supplied with a GT40 289 block and heads, that gave the car more than 350 horsepower. It was a couple of years as Claude's own daily driver before being resold.

info from http://svammelsurium.blogg.se/2008/december/de-forgatna-del-36-shelby-europa.html

Claude was in Dearborn when Ford announced the cessation of the Shelby Fords, and so bought the last 34 or 36. He sold them in Belgium, Paris, Istanbul, Geneva and Germany

Read his 2002 interview here: http://www.ponysite.de/sheleur_dubois3.htm

After 1970 Claude proposed a licensing deal, and bought Mustangs from Bob Ford in Detroit, the first was completed in January 1971 and went to the Brussels Motor show. The Shelby parts came from Shelby American. Some had 351's and at least one was a drag pack 429 http://www.ponysite.de/sheleur.htm
