This is a car-show display board photographed at an event, describing a 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350-H Convertible re-creation. The History section explains that in 1966 Ford and Carol Shelby proposed a deal to Hertz Rental Car Company, resulting in the purchase of 1,000 GT350s titled GT350-H (H for Hertz); of 2,378 Shelbys produced in 1966, 1,001 were GT 350-H models, featuring a 306hp Cobra 289 engine, Koni shocks, traction bars, and fiberglass hood with scoop. Most were Raven Black with gold stripes, though 200 came in red, blue, white or green. The displayed car started life as a six-cylinder, three-speed red 1966 Mustang convertible from Maine and was rebuilt from the ground up with a 302 engine, C4 transmission, 8-inch rear end, and GT350-H paint. The Suspension section details Control Freak control arms, 620 coil springs, Koni shocks, sway bars, 4½-inch leaf springs, 15" Crager rims, Flaming River power rack-and-pinion steering, dual master cylinder, 7-inch power booster, and Wilwood disc brakes. Other upgrades include a 650 Thunder series Edelbrock carb, H-pipe headers, Flowmaster mufflers, aluminum radiator, and rebuilt heater. Project goals list a 302 Cobra engine with 400 horsepower, T5 automatic with overdrive, and 9-inch locking rear end.
