A merciless challenge and adventure for man & machine! 13.500 km in 33 days!! The robust technology, the large-volume machine and the availability for all spare parts were essentially the decisive factors to purchase that car.
The car underwent an extensive restoration with no costs saved! The car has been completely dismantled, body shell has been stripped, floor panels replaced, body cavity sealed to protect again rust, doors and windows have been rebuilt with original parts, chrome panels restored, bonnet has been replaced through a GT 350 typically GFK bonnet with air inlet.
Gearbox and engine rebuilt, seals and wearing parts renewed, carburettor exchanged to make ‘Edelbrock’, rear axle and differential revised , leaf springs exchanged to new, brakes converted to disc brakes, twin electrical fuel pump, dual circuit brake system, Koni shock absorbers front and rear, tires 205/70 R15

- Bigger tank of 120 litre
- Fitting to electric pump with reserve pump

- Relocation of battery into the trunk, this was usual for the Shelby’s for a better weight balance

During all conversions, great importance was to ensure that as many modifications as possible could be retrofitted if necessary and would not permanently alter the vehicle.
