The Gentlemen at Gran Turismo of Los Angeles entrusted me with a rare vehicle from a Special Customer
This is a 1966 Shelby GT 350 H
Only 999 of these were produced and purchased by the Hertz Car Rental Company as a marketing program to drive rentals at Hertz and sales of the GT 350
It is rumored that many of these rentals were actually Raced on the weekend and returned on Monday
Review of the GT 350 H in Road & Track from 1966

BEFORE Shots, Look Good at 10 feet
Under closer inspection with the Brinkmann Swirlfinder Light tells a different story
Damage to left front fender. Belt Buckle?
Roof aggressively wiped down or improper wash technique or car cover?
Paint surface was heavily contaminated with overspray and embedded contaminants
Test Spot with M100, White Lake Country Hybrid Polishing Pad, FLEX 3401, Speed 4.5, 4 passes
Results were good, but too may RIDS remained
An additional Test Spot was done with M100 and an Orange CCS Light Cutting Pad with similar results
Broke out the "Big Guns" and went with M100 on a Lake Country Thin Purple Foamed Wool Pads
Really appreciate the minimal dusting, strong cut, long working time and easy wipe-off with M100
Cowl area with deep Swirls and water spots
AFTER Compounding and final polishing with M205 on a White Lake Country Hybrid Polishing Pad
I also tried a Black Buff & Shine Finishing Pad, but the LC pad was faster and the results were indistinguishable
Deep Scratches on the front fender after compounding. I chose not to chase the last 10% on these vertical panels
Similar Belt Buckle scratches on Passenger front fender
The 3" Meguiar's DA Microfiber Cutting Pad with M100 was very effective on the B Pillars
Beauty Shot of the lower door
Nice Distinction of Image (DOI)
Obligatory Horsepower Shot
Interior was in great shape
Sorry no Sun Shots, as I finished too late in the day. hopefully, the 50/50 shots with the Brinkmann and LED's are sufficient proof of the turn-around
Thanks for looking
