Former Shelby employees plan continuation 1965 Shelby GT350R
Three former Shelby American employees who worked on the 1965 Shelby GT350R plan to build officially licensed continuation version of the iconic sports racing car, with a few upgrades, Carscoops reports.
The project is being overseen by the Original Venice Crew, made up of former Shelby America employees Peter Brock, Jim Marietta and Ted Sutton.
The trio say they plan to produce 36 units starting this fall. They'll be based on the standard 4.7-liter, 289 cubic-inch V8 engine sourced from the Carroll Shelby Engine Co. and a four-speed transmission, plus fully reconditioned bodies. But they'll include experimental upgrades designed by Brock but left out of the original production models due to time constraints.
Those include a new front valance, Plexiglas rear windows and three-quarter windows, and an independent rear suspension designed by Ford.
Starting price is set at a cool $250,000.

How Successful People Make Decisions Differently
Once you realize which decisions are really important, use these four strategies to make sure you get what you want.
Deal With Bad Decisions
“When successful people have enough evidence that they’ve made a bad decision, they don’t look for more. They’re willing to shut down a business, for example, and go in a different direction. They fail fast, move on, and then they don’t talk about it again.”
Avoid Pitfalls
“Successful people know when they’re not in a good place to make a decision, and they say, ‘Let me sleep on that,’ or ‘Let me think about that. I’ll get back to you,'” he says. “They’re okay with not giving answers. They defer until they know their mind’s right.”
