Beginning with a \u003cb\u003e1965 \"K-Code\" 289-cubic-inch-powered Mustang fastback\u003c\/b\u003e, Shelby applied the same formula that had made his Cobra sports cars such devastating performers both on and off the track: more horsepower, less weight, balanced handling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The GT350 quickly established itself as a bonafide force in SCCA B-Production racing, twisting back roads, and boulevards alike—setting the course for future Shelby Mustangs, like the \u003cb\u003ebig-block GT500\u003c\/b\u003e. Though those original Shelby Mustangs were done by 1970, Ford dusted off its Shelby relationship in 2006 and has been producing high-performance Ford Mustang Shelbys ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a must-have read for any fan of American performance cars, whether you're a muscle-era original or a 21st-century stormer.","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44892479684837,"sku":"NP9780760365977","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/cf733b5a-4008-425a-9910-ab00003ad3a4.jpg?v=1767877826","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/shelby-mustang-isbn-9780760365977","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
