The automatic transmission was indeed offered in the '66 Shelby GT350 and the majority of GT350H's, but a handful were sticks. The auto was continued in the 67-70 models. I've seen documented '66 automatics, and in 1983 a '67 auto was offered to me for sale for $4500 but I was too stupid to buy it.
You might be thinking of the convertible which was not available until 1968 (although I believe there might have been a one-off '67 convertible).

"For 1966, GT350s came in a broader exterior palette, with blue, red, green and black cars offered. Subtle body changes included functional side brake scoops and a special rear quarter panel window, while a SelectShift three-speed automatic transmission was made available. Tops on the options list was a Paxton supercharger, which gave the GT350 stratospheric power. Just a handful of cars were so equipped."

thank goodness it isn't offered with an auto, goes against what this car is for. Therefore I don't see why Ford would offer an auto option now and besides, I believe the next GT500 will be produced through Shelby American this time around rather than in house at Flat Rock as the previous 07-14 models were
