Vehicle Description
1970 Shelby GT350 Convertible - Gulfstream Aqua, 1 of 57 Built, Carroll Shelby-Signed Dash Few muscle cars carry the rarity, history, and presence of the 1970 Shelby GT350 Convertible-and fewer still can match the pedigree of this extraordinary example. Finished in stunning Code F Gulfstream Aqua over a Black Deluxe interior, this Shelby is one of only 57 GT350 convertibles produced for the 1970 model year and one of just 14 finished in Gulfstream Aqua, placing it firmly among the most collectible Shelbys ever built. This GT350 has been rotisserie restored and is fully documented in the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) National Registry. Adding to its historical significance, the dash has been personally signed by Carroll Shelby, an irreplaceable detail that elevates this car into true collector-grade territory. It is accompanied by a Deluxe Marti Report, confirming its originality, options, and factory configuration. The 1970 Shelby Mustangs occupy a unique place in automotive history. As Shelby and Ford began to part ways, the final Shelbys were built as 1969 models and later updated to 1970 specifications at Ford's Kar Kraft facility-making them the only cars ever legally carried over from one model year to another. Of the 788 total Shelby GTs allocated for 1970, only 57 were GT350 convertibles, making this one of the rarest production Shelbys ever offered to the public. Powering this Shelby is Ford's enlarged 351ci Windsor V-8, rated at 290 horsepower, backed by an FMX Select-Shift automatic transmission. Known for its durability and strong torque, the 351W features a hydraulic valvetrain, 470 CFM Autolite 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum high-rise intake, and iconic Cobra - Powered by Ford cast-aluminum valve covers. Functional Ram Air induction, a low-restriction dual exhaust, heavy-duty suspension, staggered rear shocks, and power front disc brakes deliver the performance and drivability that defined the Shelby GT350's grand-touring character. With its ultra-low production, striking color combination, extensive factory options, museum-quality restoration, and unmatched documentation, this 1970 Shelby GT350 Convertible represents the final chapter of the Shelby-Ford partnership-an era defined by exclusivity, performance, and unmistakable style. These cars are widely regarded as blue-chip Shelby investments, and examples of this caliber are seldom offered. Available now at Classic Cars of Sarasota. This is not just a Shelby-it is a cornerstone piece for the serious collector and a rare opportunity to own one of the most significant convertibles ever to wear the Cobra name.
