This 1968 Shelby GT500KR Is as Clean as They Come

Pristine Condition

The Shelby GT500KR Fastback you see above was delivered brand spanking new to Johnny Bolton Ford in Maitland, Florida way back in the 1960s. Since then, it's covered approximately 31,222 miles, but you'd never know that based on its immaculate condition.

The Numbers

This is one of 1,053 GT500KR Fastbacks produced in 1968. And, of those, it's one of 450 to be equipped with factory air conditioning.

Drivetrain

Under the hood sits a 428 ci Cobra Jet V8 powerplant with functional Ram Air. All of this unit's power runs through a Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission.

Creature Comforts

This is a 52-year-old car but it's still pretty easy to get on with thanks to its power steering and power brakes with front discs.

Exterior

The Acapulco Blue paint job with White striping is arguably the feature that stands out the most on this model. But its Lucas fog lamps and tinted glass add it its overall appeal and also deserve a mention.

Interior

Like so many muscle cars of this era, this model has been fitted with a Black vinyl interior. Its bucket seats and center console are in fantastic condition, much like the rest of the car.

Wheels

Completing the package are four Shelby 10-spoke wheels that are wrapped in BF Goodrich tires. So, could you be tempted to place a bid?
