Limited Edition 2020 Shelby GT350 (R) Heritage Edition

For 2020, Ford is producing a limited edition Heritage Edition Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustang to celebrate 55 years of the Shelby GT350. The first Shelby GT350 was produced in 1965 and instantly became a legend, on the track, when Ken Miles drove it to victory at Green Valley Raceway in Texas. Its fastback exterior was painted Wimbledon White with Guardsmen Blue racing stripes. The 2020 Shelby GT350 Heritage Edition is a tribute to Carroll Shelby’s historic 1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback.

Since the beginning of organized motor sports events, vehichles competing in, Formula One, sports car racing, touring car racing or any other international auto racing competition painted their cars in standarized racing colors. These colors represented the nation of origin of the car or driver. The United States colors were blue and white.

Wimbledon White first made its appearance on Mustang during the first year of production back in 1964.5. Since then, it has graced many Mustangs since then. In recent years, Wimbledon White was offered on the 2015 50th anniversary Mustang and the 10 millionth Mustang was also painted Wimbledon White.
