The Shelby Hertz program carried on through to the end....including the 1969 models.  None except the 1966 bore the "H" though.

I suppose almost any car could be a rental, even 1968 GT350. Nice find, but the pictures seem weird- almost as if they were taken with a 40 year old camera. Damn, reserve not met at $75,000.

Just a crappy camera and or computer scan...that car is the very popular "Lime Gold", even though it is what today on the new gen cars is Legend Lime, the official name is Lime Gold, my father had a 67 GT-A Fastback in the same color, and Ford made more Mustangs in that color than any other...about 15 years ago i passed on a car just like this,  a automatic  '68 350 in Lime with saddle...for only 17k... :finger:  epic FAIL, should have bought it just to $$$ flip it, but at that time, to me had had three strikes, automatic, 350 (the '68 350's were/are the least powerful Shelby Mustang ever), and the saddle interior....of course, with age comes wisdom  :doh:

You and me, both, Chad.  My question is this:  Why would anyone sell on eBay (like this beautiful and unusual find!), if you can haul it off to Barrett-Jackson and, I think, have someone do a little better job at selling it for you and get a better price?  Of course you have to pay the what? 10% commision or whatever Barrett-Jackson charges?  But you can tack the 10% on to a reserve you put on the price of your car, if you choose to as well, and if your car doesn't sell, take it home.  I always wondered about that.

Here is a cool ad for the Hertz rental program advertising not only Shelby, but also mentioning the Cougar XR-7G
