Hertz and Shelby have long enjoyed a prosperous relationship, churning out a variety of “rent-a-racer” models over the past several decades. That partnership continued with the introduction of the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H a few years ago, a model that was built in very limited quantities, which is precisely why we rarely see them pop up for sale today. However, this 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H is available via auction right now, and with few miles on the clock.
This 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H is up for grabs at Cars & Bids with just 15k miles showing on the odometer, in fact, and it has lived its entire life in California thus far. The pony car has a clean history with no accidents, and it’s been regularly maintained, to boot. It’s number 148 of 171 built in total for this model year, each designed to pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Rent-a-Racer program. All 171 units were finished in Shadow Black with gold stripes, along with unique Shelby bodywork consisting of a vented polycarbonate hood, a mesh grille, GT-H puddle lights, a carbon-fiber front splitter, side skirts, and a rear spoiler.
Inside the cabin, one will find plenty of amenities including heated, cooled, and power-adjustable front Ebony bucket seats with gold stitching, along with a numbered plaque, GT-H floor mats, illuminated sill plates, blind-spot monitoring, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Shaker audio system, and an eight-inch touchscreen display running Sync 3.
Mechanically speaking, the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H is equipped with the Ford Racing Handling Package – which adds lowering springs, specific dampers, and both front and rear anti-roll bars – along with 19-inch black aluminum wheels wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. Power comes from the naturally-aspirated 5.0L V8 Coyote engine, rated to produce 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, which flows to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential with 3.55 gears. Considering the fact that it’s been nearly two years since we last saw a 2016 Shelby GT-H surface for sale, this one should certainly conjure up its fair share of interest at auction.
