Usually the GT350 models were built in-house at Shelby. Well, this 1970 GT350 is rather an exception. It is built by Ford. By 1969, practically every Shelby Mustang design and development was performed in-house at Ford. This process was followed by Shelby`s cancelation of the agreement in 1969. Ford bettered 789 unsold 1969 Shelby Mustangs featuring a front air dam, 1970 VINs and data plates, and black hood stripes. The whole update was supervised by FBI.

Furthermore, there is an automatic transmission, AM/8 Track stereo radio, and black bucket seats. Under the hood, there is 290-horsepower 351Windsor V8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor.
