I don't have any pictures but I remember seeing a 65 Shelby GT-350 at Jim Moran's Courtest Ford in Chicago in the spring of 65. It was white with black interior. The interior looked basically stock except it had a molded plastic housing mounted on top the center of the dash that held a tachometer (I believe it was a standard 5" Sun tach but not certain).
I seem to remember it had a roll bar behind the front seats with brace struts that went back to the rear wheel hump area. It was painted flat black with no padding that I remember. However, I don't think a roll bar was standard on all Shelby GT-350s.
A friend of mine worked for Hertz through the mid-late 60s and twice when they rented a rented GT-350 to this one customer for the weekend (Hertz rented full-up black/gold stripe GT-350s then), it came back with holes drilled where a roll bar had been installed for the racetrack and removed before it was returned. They asked him about it and, of course, he denied it. He rented a GT-350 4-5 times after that and they always gave him one of the two cars that he'd previously drilled the rollbar holes in.
