20 - MARCH 27, 2021 **** This is a very rare 1968 Shelby Mustang
GT500KR Convertible that is 1 of only 318 ever built and only 1 of
50 Shelby Special Order Mustangs painted in Code WT6066 Meadowlark
Bright Yellow paint. Designed by Shelby American and produced by
Ford this GT500KR has all the best high-performance features
available at the time including the much sought after 428 cubic
Ford Cobra engine. The 428 Cobra produced a thunderous 335
horsepower and developed 440 foot-pounds of torque in a hurry. The
potent powerplant is connected to a top-loader four-speed manual
transmission and traction-lok limited slip rear axle. Power
steering and power front disc brakes help keeps things in control
and makes driving a pleasure. This Shelby convertible possesses its
original body panels as well as its completely mint original
interior. Even the miles on the odometer are believed to be correct
at just a bit over 20K. This GT500KR was certainly well preserved
its entire life and looks showroom new today. The legend Carroll
Shelby himself personally sat in this convertible and proudly
signed the passenger side dashboard. Don't miss this opportunity to
own one of America's first and most important muscle cars - the
1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR Convertible. Stock Number: HC7171 VIN:
