1966 Shelby GT350

While most Sixties-era production-based race cars were built up from vehicles designed for street use, the Shelby GT350 was in reality a dialed-back version of the full-on race car Shelby and Ford actually had in mind, a race-ready Mustang prepared to dominate and win the SCCA National B-Production Championship. Because the SCCA allowed special factory options for either powertrain or suspension but not both, Shelby specified suspension, brakes, steering and other components to improve handling and stopping power. As a result, the 1965 Shelby GT350 surprised some buyers who complained about its harsh ride qualities. Changes were made to the 1966 model to soften the day-to-day driving experience, but the first 252 1966 cars were actually carried over 1965 models and retained the earlier lowered front A-arms and over-rider traction bars. This 1966 GT350, serial number SFM6S316, is one such car. Sold new by Arles Ford of San Rafael, California, to G.M. Freeman on March 19, 1966, it was restored by its third owner Mark Hereford and completed to full “R” racing specification.

This rare 'carryover' GT350 will cross the block at the Mecum KissimmeeAuction Saturday, January 26 at 4:00 PM.

1956 Chevrolet Corvette SR Prototype 'The Real McCoy'

The Car That Saved The Corvette Brand

Forever known as “The Real McCoy”, this 1956 Chevrolet Corvette prototype delivered a historic one-two punch against the competition that literally saved Corvette, the result of a gargantuan effort to rescue the ailing brand whose sales were flagging under competition from Ford’s Thunderbird. It began life at Chevrolet as Engineering Project Tracking Number 6901, assembled under the supervision of Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov with a special bored-out 307 CI engine using dual Carter 4-barrel carbs and the now-legendary “Duntov cam.”

It's a great story.

The Real McCoy will cross the block at the Mecum Kissimmee Auction Saturday, January 26 at 2:30 PM.

2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition

6 Miles.

The Blue and Orange livery worn by the cars of the John Wyer racing teams of the 1960s and ‘70s is one of the most widely recognizable in the world. Back to back wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 (driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Lucien Bianchi) and 1969 (with Jackie Ickx and Jackie Oliver), contributed mightily to the reputations of both the car and the charming and talented Wyer, who was a force in international racing for decades. In 2006 Ford added a special limited-edition ‘Heritage’ paint scheme to the exclusive GT that recalled that famous JW Automotive/ Gulf Oil livery of the Le Mans-winning GT40, the “Heritage Edition” Ford GT. Finished in Heritage Blue with Epic Orange stripes and White roundels, this “Heritage” Ford GT is one of 343 produced and, with just 5.8 original miles on the odometer, is quite probably the least-driven and most original of them all.

Presented as Lot F151, this special Heritage Edition Ford GT is scheduled to cross the block at the Mecum Monterey Daytime Auction on Friday, August 16 at 3:30 PM.
