It has the deluxe interior. It has woodgrain accents on the dash, steering wheel, and door panels.
Julie sends us additional shots of her Vermillion Red 1968 Mustang hardtop. Julie tells us more, "I bought this Mustang in August of 2003. Since then, I have started the process of converting it into a Shelby Coupe Tribute to the Green Hornet (only it will be red and have a 408 Stroker engine). I haven't decided whether to go with the original C-4 transmission or whether to use an FMX in it yet. The interior is mostly done, including Carroll Shelby's signature on my dash. I was able to get that prior to his death. It means the world to me."

This is the first Shelby GT-350 built in 1968. It's also a Sunlit Gold Hertz car. The owner is Randy Cantrell from North Carolina. Randy tells us more, "This car has been in my family since 1970. It was my brother's car. He was killed in 1972. His wife had a hard time driving a straight drive. I had just turned 16 and gotten my 1st car - a 1965 2+2 fastback 289 auto. My brother's wife asked me if I would trade my car for the Shelby. I didn't hesitate and I've had it ever since. I had no ideal it was the 1st 68 GT-350 convertible made until Peter Disher from www.thecoralsnake.com did the an article on the car. Needless to say it's a special car to me." Peter Disher discovered that Shelby's first four conversions on 1968 Mustangs where Hertz show cars - a GT350 convertible, GT350 fastback, GT500 convertible, and a GT500 fastback. Each was painted Sunlit Gold. And THIS is the GT350 Hertz convertible.
