Apart from this one:

Any other cool car adds like that? I remember the Australian GT add wasnt too bad with the old and new racing side by side. But the American adds always seem to blow our efforts away.

Cool video.

The background to this story according to wikipedia is in 1966 Shelby struck a deal with the Hertz car rental company to produce a special line of GT350s for rent which were subsequently sold to the public after their rental-car lives were finished, . These GT350H cars are quite rare and sought-after today, with some examples selling for more than $US120,000. Shelby produced 1000 of these cars; 800 in black, and 50 each in red, white, blue and green. The black cars all had gold stripes, whereas the colored cars only had Shelby side stripes, without the LeMans top stripes. Shelby would repeat this trick in 1987 with the Shelby CSX-T.
