Description

Documented, SAAC Registry-Listed Shelby GT500 428 CJ V8 Automatic ///

Built for only nine months, all 1968 Shelby Mustangs were produced at Ford's Metuchen assembly plant and shipped as running knockdown units to A.O. Smith in Ionia, Michigan. And this fully documented, registry listed pony, sold through Koons Ford of Falls Church, Virginia, presents an incredible opportunity to own a real thoroughbred. The car's athletic bodywork looks solid and crisp, showcasing traditional Shelby fiberglass that's both timeless and enduring. That profile is sealed in a searing coat of correct Sunlit Gold Metallic two-stage, which is finished to a level that makes old school factory fodder envious. And clean Shelby stripes perfectly complement storied GT500 call-outs. Lift the hood and you'll find 428 cubic inches of legendary Cobra Jet V8 that's been completely rebuilt from its big Holley 4-barrel all the way down to its correct C6ME-A casting number. Just aft of that legendary V8, a tough C6 3-speed slings power to a correct Ford 9-inch. Factory control arms hang a correct sway bar and factory power steering between correct power disc brakes. Stiff springs hang power-assisted drums at the edges of a leak-free fuel tank. Aluminized exhaust funnels spent gases through slim resonators, a transverse muffler and polished tips. And slick 10-spokes spin BF Goodrich Radial T/As. Between the doors, a correct Black interior blends seamlessly with this chariot's bright exterior paint. Fade-free seats ride fade-free carpet between ornate door panels and a tight headliner. The vintage dash is loaded with sporty telemetry and a retro Philco AM radio. A cobra-branded console toggles a Cobra-branded shifter. And the driver spins a traditional steering wheel. Wrapping killer aesthetics in a correct restoration, this registry-listed coupe is an ideal candidate for rounding out ANY enthusiast's collection!
