The Original Venice Crew (OVC) is offering production versions of their popular 1965 Shelby GT350 “OVC Competition Model” sports car. Only 36 of these OVC C/Ms will be built, each incorporating several aerodynamic, aero, enhancements designed by Shelby American designer Peter Brock.

Each OVC C/M is built at the Shelby facility in SoCal, just as Carroll and the OVC team did in 1965. The shop is part of Carroll Shelby International headquarters, called “Shelby LA.” Modeled after the 1960s offices at the original Venice facility, the shop features a “desk” for Carroll and one of his famous Stetsons. To order your OVC C/M, call Jim Marietta at (714) 305-8578!

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND - 2025

“We created world championship rings to give members of the 1965 Shelby American racing team (and their families) during championship weekend in So Cal last Friday night. Everyone from drivers to fabricators mechanics and logistics people, were celebrated for their contribution. Here are a couple of the rings that were created. Names represented at the event ranged from Miles to Gurney, Bondurant, O’Leary, Pierce, Brock, Sutton and many more.”
