Vehicle Description
This is a very rare 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR Convertible that is
1 of only 318 ever built and only 1 of 50 Shelby Special Order
Mustangs painted in Code WT6066 Meadowlark Bright Yellow paint.
Designed by Shelby American and produced by Ford this GT500KR has
all the best high-performance features available at the time
including the much sought after 428 cubic Ford Cobra engine. The
428 Cobra produced a thunderous 335 horsepower and developed 440
foot-pounds of torque in a hurry. The potent powerplant is
connected to a top-loader four-speed manual transmission and
traction-lok limited slip rear axle. Power steering and power front
disc brakes help keeps things in control and makes driving a
pleasure. This Shelby convertible possesses its original body
panels as well as its completely mint original interior. Even the
miles on the odometer are believed to be correct at just a bit over
20K. This GT500KR was certainly well preserved its entire life and
looks showroom new today. The legend Carroll Shelby himself
personally sat in this convertible and proudly signed the passenger
side dashboard. Don't miss this opportunity to own one of America's
first and most important muscle cars - the 1968 Shelby Mustang
GT500KR Convertible. Stock Number: HC7171 VIN: 8T03R206115 Miles:
