This is undeniably rare, unique, and desireable, only 6 red 4spd KR's came equipped with A/C. In the two years since her completion, she's won Concours GOLD four times. She was last judged SAAC Concours GOLD 880/900 possible points. Ever the perfectionist, the owner corrected most all those points and she a 897/900 now. Truly a #1 condition car, she has logged a scant 13 miles.

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.

The 428 became available in mid-68 all All mustangs, early 68's and 67's still had the 390, so shelby put "police interceptor" 428's in..
Probably the nicest resto i've seen on a Shelby..Do they make repro muffler with the ford part #'s now? Never seen one before..

I believe they do. The restoration of this car actually resulting in producing many new concours quality reproduction parts that we're available before (like the Ford stamped tailpipes)...Thanks for the compliments! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
