1968 SHELBY GT500KR, Rare, Highly Original, (For Sale by Owner), NO RESERVE!

Exterior repainted original Acapulco Blue with painted on White Shelby LeMans Stripes (2003) and still looks great (Base Coat/Clear Coat).

Differential/Rear End exterior completely refreshed; Brake Calipers w/new Rotors and all new pads; Suspension: Upper/Lower A-frames, ontrol Arm, dler Arm, ll Power Steering components with new hoses; Complete original Air Conditioning System with correct hardware (Compressor, ryer, ondenser, vaporator) with all new factory style hoses and hardware (works great and blows very cold), ompressor still has original tag; freshened correct Ford Blue paint on motor; installed new 4-row core on original radiator tanks still showing original part #’s with original fan blade and working fan clutch (never overheats); Holley 735CFM Carb rebuilt to factory specs, e-dyed and stamped.

Replaced the original “old” factory dual exhaust (had hole in muffler) with a great sounding Flowmaster exhaust (dual mufflers), he factory headers are original to the car; used existing or made new brackets for proper fit, o cutting,drilling, rbody modifications were done to install aftermarket exhaust. Parts are available for the original style factory exhaust through Shelby/Mustang Parts Distributors. I will also include the original chrome KR exhaust tips that came on this car (they need re-chroming).

Installed Monroe Air Shocks on the rear (front shocks are original type) with no cutting,drilling, r body modificationsto the car. Shelby’s are known for sitting low in the rear, liked the car to look level; easy to re-install factory style rear shocks.

Minor known maintenance issues: the rear main seal has a very small oil leak (as typical of all cars that set up and are not driven regularly); right exhaust manifold has small leak which becomes pretty much unnoticeable once motor heats up; a previous owner made a small fiberglass patch repair on the underside of the hood (looks like someone forgot it was a fiberglass hood) and as with most old cars, he dash clock stopped working a few years ago, his can be repaired easily.

I have some original paperwork on this Shelby showing previous owner/s which will be included with the sale, lus plenty of historical paperwork on the GT500KR Shelbys.

One of the previous owner’s had the Glove Box Door and the Owner’s Manual autographed by Carroll Shelby himself.

I’ve attached a photo of the historical MARTI Report on this GT500KR (the original will also be included with the sale).

I understand the rarity and value of these great cars and this KR being one of the first and in its very nice condition is priced very conservative. But, also believe folks have different views in whether to drive them or use them as show trailered cars. So, ’m leaving the flexibility for someone that would like to take this KR to the concours trailered level to have the funding to do that and to fix any minor issues. This Shelby looks and runs great just as it is, s Carroll Shelby always said, these cars were meant to be driven”. This is why I’ve priced my Shelby at a very reasonable price with No Reserve! I’m only selling this Shelby because at my age, t’s time for someone else to enjoy the great pleasures of owning an original ’68 GT500 King of the Road. These Shelby’s also make a great investment (better than the Stock Market).
