Shelby Automobiles, Inc. produced only 482 examples of the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H Convertible (plus 18 coupes, for a total of 500) that went into Hertz’s rental fleet, before filtering into private hands. This example is build #365, and has only 10,000 miles, according to the seller, who adds it is in “amazing” condition. The car is said to be rust-free and in original condition, with a clean CARFAX showing the car was registered in Florida, California, and Arizona. “The car runs, drives, and sounds great,” says the seller.

Muscle car fans are quite familiar with the first Hertz “Rent-A-Racer” program that utilized a fleet of specially prepared 1966 Shelby Mustangs, emblazoned with gold stripes that included “G.T. 350H” callouts to signify the rental company’s participation. It took 40 years for Ford, Shelby, and Hertz to get together and create a new fleet of black-and-gold coupes in 2006, each with special badging and Ford Racing upgrade parts. The follow up in 2007 involved a new batch of similarly specialized Mustangs, this time (mostly) in convertible form. This one has just 10,000 miles, and its CARFAX shows that it spent its life to this point in Florida, California, and Arizona, which helps to explain how it has remained so clean, even underneath. This may be one of the least costly paths to ownership of a genuine Shelby-sanctioned Mustang.
