The bright trim is very good, showing only very minor pitting in places. Inside, the upholstery is in good shape, no rips or tears or seam separations and the headliner is in excellent condition. The instrument panel is clean and all the lights and gauges work. Since the owner likes to drive the car, the undercarriage has a very light layer of undercoating to protect against rust.

They didn't have the power they once did and rental customers were complaining. Carroll sent a team to Hertz to find out what was going on. After looking over the cars carefully, they found that the engines and transmissions had been replaced. Apparently, hot rodders were renting the GT350H's, taking them back to their home or shop, and swapping the 306 HP, "K" code, solid lifter powertrains for "C" code 200 HP engines and automatic transmissions. To hide their tracks, they would place the valve covers and Hi-Po air filters back on the "C" code engines and nobody was the wiser... at least until they drove them. It happened to quite a few of the original 999, 1966 GT350H production models, making finding a "numbers correct" GT350H a rarity.
