1968 Ford Shelby GT500
Coming off of back-to-backs wins against Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967, Ford took the reigns from Carroll Shelby in 1968 and manufactured the Shelby GT500 in-house. Production was moved from California to Metuchen, NJ. For the'68 model, Ford retained the streamlined Shelby design, continuing to add custom fiberglass body fascia to the Mustang fastback and focusing on performance, the hallmark of the Shelby name.
This 1968 Shelby GT500 is the result of a frame off restoration by renowned restorer Hunter Willard. Presented its original combination of Wimbledon White exterior and Black D©cor Vinyl interior, with white vinyl power convertible top, this GT500 immediately catches the eye of anyone who walks by. The overall restoration quality of this car is evident with its laser straight body and stunning interior. Pop the hood and the highly-detailed 428c tied to a 4-speed manual transmission fires right up and is ready to roll. Nominated for an AACA Grand National award in 2016 and awarded an AACA Grand National award in 2018, this GT500 is a great investment grade vehicle. Sold with Deluxe Marti Report and a copy of original build sheet, this Shelby is a fantastic add to any high-end collection.
