Michael SatterfieldIn 1966, Shelby American sent a green Ford Mustang GT350 to the Italian stylist Zagato in Milan. The car was a standard GT350 (Serial Number 6S761) with a 4-speed transmission and over-ride traction bars. The Zagato Shelby GT350 received an extensive restyling, the most dramatic of which is the wraparound rear windshield. After the modifications, what happened to the car was a mystery for nearly a decade.
The car was never returned to the US and was found in an Italian junkyard in 1974. It then went on to become an amateur race car until the late 1980s, when it was sold to the current owner, who wishes to remain anonymous. While it does pop up from time to time at classic car shows in Europe, it is a rare sight. These last images were taken in 2004 by Louis Bisset, Cassis, France.
