This fabulous GT-350 spent all of it's last 40 years amongst a few very picky collectors in Switzerland & France.
The 1st Swiss owner bought this GT-350 from Ford Advanced Vehicles in Slough Bucks, England. The Shelby Distributor
invoiced it on 1/26/66, sold it on 4/29/66. Let's not forget...the big 1-2-3 Lemans victory of
1966 were all GT-40's built @ the same facility that this GT-350 was delivered new to in 1966 for
it's 1st owner. How many Shelby's were sold new & exported out of the US w/Kilometers on the 200 KPH speedo...
not many. It currently has a total of 91,000 Kilometers (57000 original miles). This GT-350 has
never been on the roads here in the States. The 2nd owner, a Mr.Daniel Jucker, purchased it in 1971
from it's 1st owner. Mr.Jucker owned it for a total of 28 years. He was known throughout Europe for
his GT-350, as he attended many local events & used it as often as possible on the roads around
Geneva every chance he had. All the local Swiss collectors remember Daniel Jucker by his Shelby !
In October 1999, Mr.Junker sold it in to a Mr.Charles Rzepkowicz, from Saintry Sur Seine, France.
By January 2004, Mr.Rzepkowicz wanted to race his GT-350 & it was then converted to exact & very
complete "R" model specifications to enjoy driving in events around Europe. It appears to have run
in the 40th Anniversary of the Grand Prix de L'age D'or in Monthlery in June 2004, mostly it was
used sparingly & kept in excellent shape, still retaining all it's original dated body panels &
floors. Included is a huge folder of documentation & information on it's history. It includes the
following "R" options: front bumper valence, fiberglass hood, riveted side window covers, 15" American
racing wheels, lightweight plexi side windows in aluminum frames w/pull cords, lightweight plexi
aero back window, full roll cage & fire system, full suspension & brake upgrades, competition fuel
cell,the list goes on & on. It has a period correct 289 built up w/over 400 HP.& many upgrades to
suspension & many correct "R" parts. It also has a correct period 4 Spd. transmission. It was born Red, but the last owner, Mr.Rzepkowicz chose to make it Sapphire Blue w/white Stripes & roundels, when it was converted to Race Spec. It comes complete w/it's FIA paperwork allowing it to compete @ almost any track in the world. It comes with it's original factory gauge cluster showing 89K kilometers as well as a newer R model cluster showing under 3K Kilometers since it was converted for track use. It also comes w/both it's Swiss & French Titles from it's last 2 owners. It can be titled in the U SA in any State if the new over cares to do so. It was verified by Howard Pardee from the Shelby American Automobile Club
(SAAC) to be the actual article, having it's Shelby serial # 6S 747 match it's factory given chassis #,
a way to guarantee it's originality. This Shelby is now transformed into a rare & competitive Race
model GT-350 of which there were only 36 originals ever made. Be the 1st on your block, in fact
the 1st in the USA, to own this very rare Shelby! You will be happy knowing you can have lots of
fun & still have a large return on your investment, that's better than the stock market...
don't miss this opportunity. Going to RM Amelia Island Auction on March 10th !
