Vehicle Description
In 1968 the Shelby GT500 came with a 428ci Police Interceptor V8
engine and featured Grand Touring character with uniquely
aggressive styling and the muscle to back it all up. The even
more-potent "Cobra Jet" version of the 428, beefed up from Ford's
vast parts inventory, powered the top-level GT500KR, with the "KR"
suffix denoting "King of the Road." Featuring one-year-only
styling, the 1968-only GT500KR remains one of the most collectible
Mustangs. Carrying Shelby serial #3873 and documented in the SAAC
Registry, this 1968 Shelby GT500KR is one of just 518 convertibles
built. Part of a private collection prior to being acquired for the
Mile High Collection in 2015, this Highland Green over Saddle 1968
Shelby GT500KR convertible continues to benefit from a ground-up
restoration. Retaining the matching-numbers 428ci Cobra Jet V8
engine, features include a newer convertible top, a floor-shifted
C6 automatic transmission and Shelby 10-spoke wheels. Correct
restoration highlights include rarely seen factory emissions
equipment, a Red Oxide undercarriage finish and the highly detailed
engine bay. Comes with a Deluxe Marti Report. From the Mile-High
Collection.
