Standard Rear Axles 1 of 51 1968 GT500's produced with a 4 speed
manual transmission in Wimbledon white and 1 of 39 finished with
black knitted bucket seats...in all of its glory, extensively
restored and documented with only 2,200 miles, this example was
kept in excellent condition for the next owner. This particular
GT500 started its life at Larson Ford in White Plain, NY. The car
was stolen from the dealership soon after and was never sold. The
authorities recovered the GT500 soon after as well as the majority
of the stripped parts only 17 miles away from the dealership. The
car was then auctioned and purchased by Joseph Mazza who only
registered the car for proper documentation, she was never
inspected nor driven on the road. The Mustang was then again sold
in August of 1986 to Bruce Riffland in Stony Point, NY. The car was
disassembled in a not to be completed restoration before it was
sold to the previous owner in 1995. The Shelby underwent an
extensive restoration on a completely rust free car with 17
probable miles on the odometer (ironically the same mileage the car
had when recovered 17 miles away). This GT500 has the original
window sticker, build sheet, and a plethora of original documents
that were sold with the car. Quite the unusual story and a lightly
used GT500 that is in jaw dropping condition, what a ride to add to
the collection!
