Stunning, Highly Original 1968 Shelby GT 500 Fastback
Returning to Specialty Sales Classics in our Fairfield showroom
after being in a private collection for 23 years is this gorgeous
1968 Shelby GT 500 2 Door Fastback with Highland Green exterior
paint and a black vinyl interior with correct Cobra badging. You'll
also find a factory correct 428 Cobra Jet V-8 engine under the hood
with 335 HP and 420 ft/lb. of torque, paired to a period correct
3-speed automatic transmission. This highly original classic has
recently been lovingly brought back to driving condition and it is
one of the nicer original examples we've ever come across. We said
that in 1999 when we sold it to the current owner and we still feel
that way today.
Equipped with 428 Cobra Jet V-8 & 3-Speed Auto
The current owner of this 1968 Shelby GT 500 Fastback purchased it
from our Pleasanton showroom back in 1999 and drove it directly to
his home in Sacramento, California. It has remained garaged there
since that time and we received it back in late 2021 to prepare it
for a new home. Over the last several months, we've rebuilt the
transmission, replaced the braking system all the way around and
also added a new water pump, valve cover gaskets, alternator, and
power steering pump. The gas tank was also reconditioned and this
vehicle received new fluids and an extensive tune up (new spark
plugs, battery, tires, etc.) to ensure it's ready for the next
owner.
Additionally, this 1968 Shelby GT 500 Fastback is a genuine period
correct example and only required refreshing since it had remained
parked for 22+ years. We do not have a lot of history on this
desirable classic prior to receiving it in 1999, but it does have
everything you'd look for in an investment-grade classic. The
exterior is in great shape with gorgeous body lines, previously
resprayed exterior paint and exceptional trim all the way around.
You'll also find a very original, highly correct black Cobra
interior with correct wood grain paneling and badging
throughout.
On the open road, this 1968 Shelby GT 500 Fastback is an absolute
pleasure to drive, allowing you to experience the epitome of
Ford/Shelby Muscle from that era. Very few iconic classic muscle
cars live up to the hype like this particular example does, and it
is a vehicle that could be driven and enjoyed at local shows and
events. .
Meticulously Restored & Ready for the Open Road
Overall, this 1968 Shelby GT 500 Fastback is every collectors'
ultimate muscle car and it is likely priced conservatively for such
an original example. It needs next to nothing to be enjoyed right
away at the highest possible levels and there is simply no way that
it remains available for long. For more information about this
vehicle, visit our Fairfield, California showroom, give us a call
