this 1968 GT500 fastback, Shelby No. 01824, was originally shipped
to Nagle Ford Inc in Rochester, NY, where it was delivered to first
owner J.D. Baker on 4/2/1968. Subsequent owner history is also
listed in the registry. Sunlit Gold with a very rare saddle
interior, the Shelby is one of 1,044 GT500 fastbacks built for
Shelby Automotive by the A.O. Smith Company in Michigan, where
Shelby production moved for 1968. In addition to its Shelby
equipment, the GT500 is also equipped with an automatic
transmission, factory ice-cold air conditioning, power steering,
power front disc brakes, tinted glass, tilt pop-a-way steering
wheel and a Philco pushbutton radio. The popular Shelby aluminum
10-spoke wheels are present. As a GT500, the Shelby is equipped
with the 360 HP 428 Police Interceptor big-block that came from the
factory with aluminum intake manifold topped by a Holley 4-barrel
carburetor, oval open-element air cleaner and finned aluminum Cobra
valve covers. Like all 1968 Shelbys, the GT500 started life as a
big-block Mustang fastback at Ford's Metuchen, New Jersey, assembly
plant before its transformation into a Shelby with fiberglass body
panels and other special components. The front fascia gave the
Shelby a totally different look with a larger grille opening,
Marchal fog lamps, and hood with a pair of forward-placed scoops.
At the rear, the fiberglass trunk lid incorporated a ducktail
spoiler, while the rear panel was distinguished by horizontal 1965
Thunderbird tail lights with sequential operation. For 1968, the
Shelby Mustangs transitioned from the all-out performance of
1965-67 to more of a Road Car sports-luxury vehicle, which was
bolstered by the Mustang's Deluxe interior with wood-grain trim,
along with a unique console with padded Cobra-embossed armrest and
dual gauge pods. The Mustang's heavy-duty suspension was also part
of the package. Please contact us for location and availability of
