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

This 1968 Shelby GT500 is powered by a factory 428ci 4-barrel V8 engine paired with a C6 SelectShift automatic transmission and equipped with the Cobra-style shifter, with the car documented by its Deluxe Marti Report and included in the Shelby Registry. The exhaust system follows the original GT500 layout with dual outlets exiting through the rear valance, consistent with 1968 production specifications. The chassis retains the original-style front coil-spring and rear leaf-spring suspension system and factory-type components such as control arms, bushings and mounting hardware were restored or replaced to meet factory configuration. Stopping is handled by power front disc brakes with rear drums as originally equipped, and the car includes factory power steering and the optional tilt-away steering column. The exterior is finished in its factory-correct Candy Apple Red and fitted with Shelby 10-spoke wheels, fog lamps, fiberglass body components and wheel lip moldings consistent with 1968 GT500 production. Exterior trim, badging, glass and lighting components follow the original specifications included on its Marti Report, and the car was sold new at Marvin Tonkin Ford in Portland, OR. The interior is trimmed in its factory Saddle configuration and includes the Interior Decor Group, sport deck rear seat, tachometer, trip odometer, AM push-button radio, shoulder harnesses and visibility group items. The dash carries a Shelby autograph applied in 2004, and the cabin retains factory-correct upholstery patterns, hardware, switchgear and instrumentation. Additional factory options include the extra cooling package, wheel lip moldings, tilt-away steering and other equipment documented in the Marti Report. This GT500 was produced on December 21, 1967, five days ahead of schedule, and its restoration and documentation collectively align the vehicle with its factory-delivered configuration.
