2006 Ford Shelby GT-H Hertz Edition
May 1st, 2006For the commemoration of the 40 year anniversary of famed Shelby/Hertz GT350H “Rent-A-Racer” program, Ford Racing and Shelby Automobiles joined forces to produce this reincarnation of the Shelby rent-a-racer from 1966. Like that car, it will wear black and gold paint. There will be 500 units, all badged, plaqued, and signed by Caroll Shelby and all available only from Hertz as rentals.
Basically, the car is a GT with a revised chassis that includes new shocks, shorter springs, different anti-roll bars, and a strut-tower brace. A power package includes a cold-air intake, a new muffler, and different engine tuning that reportedly adds 25 horsepower and 10 pound-feet of torque. The Shelbys could reach Hertz counters as soon as April of 2006. They won’t be available at all locations, and the rate has yet to be determined. In early 2007, the cars will be sold at auction. It’s ironic Ford chose to offer the Shelby GT-H now, given it has recently spun off Hertz, a former wholly owned subsidiary.

Dealers will be able to then sell the Shelby Mustangs, or keep them as collectibles.
