In 2003 Carroll Shelby unveiled a new GT350SR limited run, continuation series at SEMA. The SR stood for Shelby Racer or also Street Racer. Unique Performance of Farmers Branch, TX, was chosen to build the cars and was also building the "Eleanor" GT500Es at the same time under the Shelby license. This car is production number 001 of GT350SR produced, with only 11 cars thought to have been assigned Shelby serial numbers according to Shelby licensing. This car is listed in the Shelby Registry and was the feature car in a 9-page article of Street Fords magazine issue number 146. It has less than 1,000 miles since its completion in 2003.

This Shelby is powered by a 408ci Shelby-tuned Windsor small-block V8 engine with electronic fuel injection backed by a TKO 5-speed manual transmission, Currie 31-spline 9-inch posi-traction differential and 3.25:1 ratio. The interior features Carroll Shelby embroidered signature hi-back bucket seats in leather, a G-force 5-point quick release harness, Hurricane air conditioning system, Eclipse CD stereo, Lecarra wood steering wheel, Shelby aluminum pedals, a shift lever, and gear knob. Mechanically, it features high performance headers, a 2.5-inch side pipe exhaust system, a Griffin aluminum radiator with electric cooling fan, trunk-mount battery, 16-gallon rear fuel cell, power rack & pinion steering and BAER tracker bump steer adjustable tie rods. Braking is handled by a BAER track touring system with slotted, cross-drilled rotors in the front and rear, vented air ducts to front and rear brakes. The chassis is a Unique Performance products sub-frame connector system, shock tower brace, and 4-point roll bar.

The suspension consists of a Unique Performance coilover front with QA1 gas shocks and rear coilover suspension. Included with the GT350SR is a fitted blue fleece car cover, Shelby-branded floor mats, authentic Shelby signed glove box door, original Street Fords magazine featuring this very car, Quaker State oil advertisement showing this car, Unique Performance brochure and various other articles. The tires were replaced in 2019 and a new, modern Powermods fuel injection unit, injectors, battery, and ignition system were installed.

This is truly a unique opportunity to own a very rare piece of Ford Performance and Shelby automotive history! American muscle at its best!
