1969 Shelby GT350 Offered by Swafford Auction Group With Long-Term Ownership

A 1969 Shelby GT350 is now being offered by Swafford Auction Group LLC, presenting an opportunity to acquire an original example of one of Ford’s most recognized performance cars.

Listed as Lot #11003, the car carries a starting bid of $50,000 and has reportedly remained with the same owner since 1995. The odometer reads 64,515 miles, though actual mileage is not specified.

Power comes from a 351 cubic-inch (5.8-liter) Windsor V-8 engine, consistent with the GT350’s configuration during the 1969 model year. That year marked a shift in Shelby production, with cars built under Ford’s direct oversight, blending performance heritage with more refined styling and features compared to earlier models.

The listing describes the car as original, which may appeal to buyers seeking a car that has not undergone extensive restoration or modification. However, it is noted that the vehicle is missing its center caps.

Documentation includes an Alabama bill of sale and registration, rather than a traditional title, which is an important consideration for prospective bidders depending on their state requirements.

The 1969 Shelby GT350 represents a transitional period for the Shelby brand, maintaining its performance identity while evolving into a more production-oriented offering. Examples with long-term ownership histories often attract interest from collectors looking for cars with a known background.

As the auction progresses, this GT350 could draw attention from enthusiasts seeking an entry point into Shelby ownership with a car that retains its original character.
