Default Re: Concours Gold Winning 1968 Shelby GT500 KR CVT

Beautiful Car.
Can anyone tell me, I met an Original Owner of an Original 1968 GT500. We met at the Louisville Concours. He asked since a 68 Shelby is a Mustang, that was converted, and in the VIN the code is for a 390 as the 428 was not allowed in a mustang, How do you know that the 68 has a 428 in it? and not a 390?
He bought the car New in 68, Acapulco Blue fastback, and because a salesman in 1971 lowballed him on a trade for a Torino he kept the car. Seems they would only give him $1500 for it in 71 towards the Torino. They said it was a Gas Guzzler and No Body wanted it. Well duh??? Maybe then, but I am sure a lot of people would want it now. Thank God he kept it.
I hope I phrased the question right and sorry to hi-jack the thread, but it at least keeps your car on the top.
Good Luck selling.
