65 GT-350 Colors
Well im about to get my 65 a week from today
. But it is just a regular coupe. Soo since the Shelby are so darn sexy im turning it into a GT-350 clone.
I am trying to decide what color to paint it. It HAS to base black. So was there any black with stripes other than white?
I like the gold stripes of the Hertz, but wouldnt that be kinda odd? A 65 shelby Hertz replica
Also, did the 65 have the brake scoops? Cause I LOVE those.

If you're going for a clone, and it has to be black, I'm afraid you're stuck with the Hertz colors of black with gold stripes. Pretty sure all the other Shelby's were white with blue stripes or vice-versa.

Sorry for the triple post.
Does the Hertz have anything different besides the paint and engine.
Im trying to make it close to the real thing, without braking the bank.
Im getting the shelby hood, brake scoops, and the freaking awesome tach pod. Then redo the interior in black, and brushed aluminum.

dont shelby clone it... not on a coupe. All of us guys that know mustangs go to shows (at least I do ) and sit and be like wow, there were no real shelby coupes...
Build it to be what you WANT dont go for a exact clone. If you want this body kit, this engine, whatever. paint it black with flat black stripes or something. But dont go for an exact repro...

If you're going for a clone, you should have bought a fastback...lol

Im picking up the body for $1k, no rust, all electrical systems in place, all body panels great. I think I got a good deal.
