Not that I am aware of.
The 500KR came out in April of 1968 - two months after Ford built the 50 lightweight Cobra Jet Mustangs for NHRA's Stock and Super Stock classes. The CJ 428 replaced the single quad 428 Police Interceptor that Shelby was using for the GT500. The 428 Super Cobra Jet became available during the 1969 model year. |

The owner told me it was an SCJ. I edited my post early this morning after talking to a friend who informed me that it could not be an SCJ. Note change in original post. I am not real knowledgeable on Shelbys, hence my original post asking for help.

Yeah, hmmm, I'm almost sure the Super wasn't available in a GT500 in '68. But yes in 1969-70

68 GT500 PI. No ram air S code in VIN
68 GT500KR CJ ram air R code in VIN 69-70 GT500 CJ ram air. R code in VIN 69-70 GT500 with drag pack option SCJ ram air R code in VIN 3.91-4.30 rear gear only There was no external decals or VIN designation for the SCJ. They are completely different engines with LeMans connecting rods, external dampening, engine oil coolers, different horn locations/hardware (as the oil coolers were put where one of the horns was located), transmission gear reducers, etc. A helluva engine included in the very affordable drag pack option. Oddly the lowest engine on the totem pole the 68 PI (police interceptor) is the only one with an aluminum intake.....CJ's and SCJ's got cast iron manifolds Don't even get me started on the big and little suspension differences on 1969 Shelbys. |

I wish. We have a long waiting list. This car found me and I was not about to pass up a look. Just disappointing that it likely will not happen. I have restored a lot of Mustangs though over 20 years ago and am always looking for something a little different. Happy New Year to you as well.

A/C equipped CJ cars do have an oil cooler, it is not the same as a SCJ. Talladega's also had the smaller cooler. It mounts horizontally in the grill opening . Rick, a 1968 CJ engine dated to the build date is really hard to find . You will also find that the missing engine compartment stuff is also expensive, carb is $3000. The rust repair is not that hard to do but if you use aftermarket parts it will hurt the car's end value.
