This Raven Black 1968 Shelby GT500, Shelby No. 00889, is an
authentic Texas barn find, a survivor elevated to concours
standards by renowned Legacy Speed & Body in Strathmore, Alberta,
Canada. One of only 1,044 produced in 1968, this GT500 is powered
by a date-code-correct 428ci Police Interceptor engine, paired with
a 4-speed manual transmission. This GT500 retains all its original
sheet metal. While not VIN-stamped, the engine block casting date
aligns with the car's build timeline. During restoration, the
original Build Sheet was discovered beneath the dashboard, adding
to an already exceptional provenance package that includes the
original Ford Motor Company invoice, original Shelby American
invoice, VIN plate, Shelby Tag and Buck Tag. The concours
restoration preserved every original metal panel, with the body
fully disassembled, refinished and reassembled using
factory-correct fasteners, finishes and materials. Every line, gap
and surface reflects meticulous craftsmanship and an uncompromising
commitment to authenticity. Documentation includes the Marti
Report, original invoices, Build Sheet, factory identification tags
and 1968 Texas license plate. This GT500 is also listed in the
Shelby Registry.
