The 1965-1966 cars were the smallest and lightest of the GT 350 models. These cars are often improperly called "Cobras", which was the Ford-powered AC-based two-seat sports car also produced by Shelby American during the same period. The confusion arises from the use of the Cobra emblem, the paint scheme, and optional "Cobra" valve covers on many GT350s (part of a marketing tie-in by Shelby as well as one of his iconic symbols). All 1965-66 cars featured the K-Code 271 hp 289, modified to produce 306 hp. 1965-1966 G.T. 350s were delivered from Ford's San Jose assembly plant in body in white form for modification by Carroll Shelby's operation, originally in Venice Beach and later at Los Angeles International Airport. San Jose Cars carried a "R" in the ford VIN denoting that facility. The only year that Shelby Mustangs from the 1960s came from another plant was 1965-1968 where they came from New Jersey "T" in the VIN, and were modified in rhode island by tasca ford of which 20 were done all coupes all others were fastbacks modified in michigan.
