Description

  1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 KR Convertible, a true automotive gem with Serial Number 8T03R2015. Originating as an original black-plate California car, this masterpiece boasts a resplendent Wimbledon White exterior complemented by a saddle interior and a pristine white vinyl top.

  Undergoing a meticulous rotisserie restoration, this Shelby is presented in exceptional condition, earning a distinguished 1-rating. The heart of this beauty is its matching numbers 428/335hp Cobra Jet engine, seamlessly mated to an automatic transmission. Rolling on authentic Shelby hubcap wheels wrapped in Goodyear Speedway 350 tires, this GT500 KR Convertible offers a superior driving experience with a 3.50 Traction-Lok rear end.

  Equipped with modern conveniences, this Shelby features power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering column, and a tinted windshield for an enjoyable and comfortable ride. The Philco radio and console enhance the driving experience, while the Shelby signature proudly adorns the glovebox. The Deluxe Marti Report attests to the authenticity of this remarkable vehicle.

  This top-tier Shelby showcases a very clean and detailed engine bay, with the restored powerplant being lightly run to preserve its pristine condition. The exterior exhibits very good paint and chrome, radiating a timeless elegance. The interior and convertible top are equally impressive, reflecting the care and attention given to every detail during the restoration process.

  In summary, this 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 KR Convertible stands as an inherently desirable, top-spec Shelby that has been meticulously restored, thoroughly sorted out, and is now ready to hit the open road. With its combination of performance, aesthetics, and provenance, this Shelby represents a rare opportunity to own a true automotive legend.
