Default GT350 Question

Are all GT305's fastbacks, or were some of them coupes?

There are no coupes. There were 6 convertables in 66 and a bunch in 68, 69 and 70. The rest are fastbacks.

I am not familiar with the GT 305. Do you mean GT350?
The GT350 were convertibles and fastbacks 2+2

Greetings!

The GT350 did not come with a back seat - it came with a fiberglass shroud flat panel
that takes the place of the fold down rear seat and the spare tire mounts to it.

The standard mustang fastback - had the 2+2 or the fold down rear seat.

kind of a oddity, but Shelby sold coupes with GT350R parts for Trans Am racing

Regardless of what that blog from Mexico says, the Shelby was never produced in South America,
only in California. The initial mustang fastback equipped with a 289 4 speed was built by Ford.
Then, Shelby bought x number of them and had them shipped to his shop in California and
modifed them to what we know as a Shelby mustang.

68-70 Shelby Amercian cars were modified by Car Craft in Michigan.
Shelby De Mexico's were made in Mexico
Shelby Europa's were made in Belgium
Dodge Shelby's were made in Michigan
Shelby Series One's were made in Las Vegas
Shelby 4000's were made in Las Vegas
GT500E's are made in Texas....
