For Sale at Auction: 1968 Shelby GT500 in Scottsdale, Arizona

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 (converted by the selling dealership in 1968). This GT500 retains all its original sheet metal. The engine features date-coded components consistent with its production sequence, as verified by the included Marti Report. While not VIN-stamped, the engine's casting dates align 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.
