This early-production 1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback, 5S192, is one of just 562 GT350s built in total during the first year of production and has undergone a professional, concours-quality restoration. Its history begins with its arrival at Shelby American on April 1, 1965; as if to illustrate the frenetic pace of early GT350 production, work began on the car on April 27 and was completed just three days later, on April 30.
