Vehicle Description
Fully documented by Marti Auto Works, this registry-listed GT350
was one of the first Shelbys assembled for 1968. Presently, the car
rolls as a fully-sorted head turner that packs a superb 302/4-speed
drivetrain in a correct Saddle interior and correct Acapulco Blue
paint. And if you're in the market for a blue chip classic that's
the perfect fit for sunny show fields and world class collections,
it's the pedigreed nobility you've been patiently waiting for!
One of only 48 Acapulco Blue and Saddle fastbacks produced in 1968,
this striking GT350 was shipped to Kirkwood, Missouri as one of two
identical cars sold through Yates-Stevens Ford. After four decades
of excellent maintenance and spirited driving, the car benefitted
from a highly detailed, frame-off rebuild that reworked all its
panels into smooth and solid surfaces. And once those surfaces were
fully prepped, correct Acapulco Blue base was buried in a thick
clear and dressed in sporty "G.T.350" side stripes.
Completely rebuilt during the extensive restoration, the car's 302
cubic inch Windsor V8 is correct to the 1968 model year. Behind
that legendary mill, a correct Toploader 4-speed spins a rugged
Ford 9-inch that's fitted with beefy, 3.89 gears. Red Oxide floors
ride a fully rebuilt suspension that mixes factory power steering
with power front disc and rear drum brakes. And at the edges of the
car, retrofitted 10-spoke alloys spin correct E70-15 Goodyear
Speedway 350s.
Inside this Ford's impressive cockpit, you'll find a
mostly-original Deluxe Saddle interior that contrasts well to the
car's tasteful paint. Plush vinyl seats present virtually no
evidence of wear and tear. A handsome dash hangs a correct 140 MPH
speedometer next to a correct 8,000 RPM tachometer. Beneath that
dash, a Cobra-branded console frames a requisite Hurst shifter. And
the driver spins an ornate Shelby steering wheel around a desirable
Tilt-Away column.
Sporting an exclusive V8, classic good looks and a full roster of
desirable options, there's no question this Shelby is both
collectable AND enjoyable. If you're looking for a pedigreed
classic that's almost certain to increase in value, call, click or
