Doesn't a genuine 1966 GT-350H cost around $180,000? This most be a replica like the one in War of the Worlds. /vehicle_10410-Ford-Mustang-1966.html |

Wickey, I am not sure how much they went for in 1970. I would assume they have risen in price for the originals. On this website there is an original for sale, asking $235,000! On the same site there is a replica for $34,500. They look exactly the same to me which is the point, I just can't imagine wanting to purchase the original. http://www.cars-on-line.com/33521.html |

Replica ??? Man, this is a 1970 movie! |

That is my point, I believe in 1970 they still were rare but that rare as today .gif ":)") Therefor I believe this could be an original GT350H |

You couldn't be more right, I feel like an idiot now. I must have gotten caught up in re-reading the post for War of the Worlds (the movie looks like it definitely featured a replica). Anyway, this probably is an original. Thanks Ray B., sometimes I don't think as clearly as I should  |

Yes, a nicely restored authentic 350H will sometimes bring around $200K. The one in this movie is a '66 and obviously has had the tires replaced with incorrect whitewalls. The only year with the clear quarter window back then (plexiglass). Also, the black w/gold stripes was only in '66 and for Hertz Rent-a-Car exclusively. In late 1967, My Dad being mgr of a Ford dealership in Ft.Worth TX, made a deal to purchase 6 of these Mustangs from Hertz in Dallas for resale from Hillard Ford in Ft Worth. I was 17 at the time and working at the dealership so I got to drive them all back to Ft Worth. What a treat. 5 were black w/gold stripes and one was dark green w/no top stripes. They all had less than 5000 miles on them. These 6 had automatic transmissions. My Dad got them for $2500 ea. and as I recall he sold each of them for around $3500 off of the used car lot. I do remember that he let me use one until they were all gone. I was getting pd $1.25/hr., not enough for me to buy one of them. A 7th Shelby came to Ft Worth to a small used car lot owned by Jack Record, a friend. I noticed that James Garner drove one of these briefly in the movie "LE MANS". My guess is that "American Gangster" used a replica. I'm sure the one they blew up was. |
