Jay Leno has a visit from Hertz this week, a stunning original Shelby Mustang GT350H that he analyzed next to its latest successor.
Back in the day, Hertz ordered 1001 copies of the thoroughbred Shelby Mustang GT350 for their exclusive rent-a-racer program, offering for the first time, a rental car just for the driving experience instead of the regular commute.
The specific car is one of the just 85 four-speed manual cars of Hertz’s original fleet, with the company offering them to the more hardcore purists. And how about that iconic livery with the gold stripes over the black bodywork; it just makes this Mustang even more special.
Prepare for some great stories as Leno is joined by the proud owner discussing original Mustangs and the legend of Shelby’s models.
