-SALE PENDING-
Coming off of back-to-backs wins against Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966
and 1967, Ford took the reigns from Carroll Shelby in 1968 and
manufactured the Shelby GT500 in-house. Production was moved from
California to Metuchen, NJ. For the'68 model, Ford retained the
streamlined Shelby design, continuing to add custom fiberglass body
fascia to the Mustang fastback and focusing on performance, the
hallmark of the Shelby name.
This 1968 Shelby GT500 is the result of a frame-off restoration by
renowned restorer Hunter Willard. Presented its original
combination of Wimbledon White exterior and Black Decor Vinyl
interior, with white vinyl power convertible top, this GT500
immediately catches the eye of anyone who walks by. The overall
restoration quality of this car is evident with its laser straight
body and stunning interior. Pop the hood and the highly-detailed
428ci tied to a 4-speed manual transmission fires right up and is
ready to roll. Nominated for an AACA Grand National award in 2016
and awarded an AACA Grand National award in 2018, this GT500 is a
great investment grade vehicle. Sold with Deluxe Marti Report and a
copy of original build sheet, this Shelby is a fantastic add to any
high-end collection.
