1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau that Carroll Shelby gave to the father of the company’s accountant, ordered by Shelby American with the full options package and modified with Shelby-Cragar wheels, to sell in some special promotion (nothing but rims upgraded from a factory car anyone could order)



one of 10 that were ordered by Shelby American, it was specified in Candyapple Red with black leather upholstery, a 428ci V8 with transistor ignition, power windows and seats, SelectAire air conditioning, a Stereosonic tape system, heavy-duty suspension, rear fender shields, and Highway Pilot Control (cruise control that was difficult, and too unique to have interchangeable parts with other FoMoCo systems, for example, the 66 Thunderbird and 66 Continental have completely different systems and they were built on the same assembly line)
