Vehicle Description
For Sale in our Detroit Showroom is a very impressive 1968 Ford
Mustang Shelby GT 500. 1968 marked the end of the first generation
Mustang Shelby production. The Shelby GT Mustang was offered as a
higher performance model and was introduced into the Mustang
line-up in 1965. This Mustang has had every aspect of its
originality modified and is a mean machine. The first thing that
anyone would notice walking up to this beast is the enormous
supercharged 429CID BOSS Ford Hemi Powered V8. The extensive work
that has been done to this engine is out of this world. This beast
has enough horsepower to pin you to your racing seat at the touch
of the throttle. Remember, this is a fully authentic and document

be the biggest and best drag car at your local strip. This powerful
Shelby is equipped with a highly modified 3-Speed Automatic Ford C6
Transmission. The rear gear ratio is set up at 4.86 in the rear
which allows for neck snapping power off the line. The enormous,
sticky Mickey Thompson tires do a great job of keeping this Mustang
planted and going in a straight line while flying down the drag
strip. With less than 2000 miles since its complete rebuild, this
Shelby is guaranteed to turn heads and snap necks on a daily basis.
This pretty pony is wrapped in a shiny coat of Black along with
metallic flake gold racing stripes which are a Shelby trademark.
