Developed as a racing homologation special, Carroll Shelby\u2019s legendary 1965 racing variant of his Mustang GT350 set a template that still resonates six decades later. Those original 36 R-models were stripped-down track cars<\/a> with blueprinted 289s pushing 350+ hp, built purely to dominate SCCA B-Production. Now Trick Rides, the Oklahoma-based outfit that\u2019s made its name transforming Chevelles and Camaros with carbon fiber tech and four-figure horsepower, is throwing its hat in the ring with the GT350TR.<\/p>\n

\nFrom Carbon Tubs to Steel Heritage<\/p>\n

This marks somewhat of a departure for Trick Rides. The company built its reputation in the 2010s on boundary-pushing builds featuring widebody carbon fiber bodies and supercharged LS motors making over 1,000hp. But with the GT350TR, they\u2019re taking a more restrained approach, at least visually. Steel body panels replace their typical carbon weave<\/a>, a conscious decision to honor Shelby\u2019s original formula rather than chase the hypercar aesthetic<\/a> they\u2019re accustomed to.<\/p>\n

\nModern Execution<\/p>\n

The GT350TR gets its foundation from a Roadster Shop chassis, while independent front suspension with Fox coilovers replaces the original\u2019s agricultural setup. Out back you\u2019ll find a parallel four-bar arrangement paired with a 9-inch rear axle and oversized sway bars at both ends keep things buttoned down through corners.<\/p>\n

Forgeline\u2019s lightweight three-piece wheels wear Continental Z-rated rubber, and Baer supplies the braking hardware with six-piston calipers up front and four-piston in the rear. The whole package rides on steel body panels while flush-mounted glass and Ringbrothers hardware add subtle modern touches.<\/p>\n

\nSupercharged Coyote or Stroker V8<\/p>\n

Power comes from a supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8 making 700hp, routed exclusively through a TREMEC T-56 six-speed manual. The exhaust setup comes in the way of Ultimate Headers and MagnaFlow mufflers. For those who\u2019d rather skip the supercharger whine, Trick Rides offers a naturally aspirated 427-cubic-inch stroker as an alternative, though output figures on that option remain unspecified. The manual-only approach will alienate some buyers, but it\u2019s consistent with founder Jason Engel\u2019s stated reverence for Shelby heritage.<\/p>\n

Trick Rides Shelby GT350TR Build <\/p>\n

\n Oklahoma-based shop Trick Rides just unveiled the GT350TR, a more restrained tribute to Carroll Shelby\u2019s 1965 racing legend with a 700-hp supercharged Coyote V8 and manual-only transmission. At $339,000, it\u2019s their take on honoring the nameplate that dominated SCCA competition six decades ago, swapping their usual carbon bodywork for steel panels and driver engagement over outright speed. <\/p>\n
