A claimed 3-time MCA Concours Gold winner and believed to have been driven only 23509 miles this magazine-featured Shelby certainly raises the bar. Presently the car rolls as a fully-sorted head turner that packs a superb 302/4-speed drivetrain in an original interior and correct Acapulco Blue paint. And if youre in the market for an awesome blue chip collectible thats the perfect fit for show fields and well-shaped financials its the pedigreed nobility youve been waiting for!

After three decades of excellent maintenance and minimal driving Conover Racing andamp; Restoration of Hanover Pennsylvania orchestrated a highly detailed frame-off rebuild that reworked all the cars panels into super smooth surfaces. Once those surfaces were fully prepped displaying a precise level of fit and finish correct Acapulco Blue base was buried in a thick clearcoat shell.

The result is one top notch Shelby showpiece that until recently anchored a serious muscle car collection and presently could hedge any major investment portfolio. Shelbys GT line threw fuel on the muscle car fire by not only adding power but also introducing some of the coolest and most aggressive Mustang design cues ever created. At the leading edge of this slick pony a pristine chrome bumper dissects a correct Shelby grille which hangs familiar Lucas driving lamps between bright halogen headlights and bullet-style parking lamps. At the top of that grille a broad SHELBY script leads the eye past satin lanyards to a lightweight fiberglass hood thats founded in clean glass and straight stainless trim. At the sides of that glass correct quarter scoops and a small chrome mirror combine with fresh Cobra emblems and correct Shelby fender caps to lend the cars profile an aggressive yet finished appearance. And at the back of that profile a familiar Shelby decklid hangs a second SHELBY script over correct tail lamps a handsome Cobra fuel filler a second chrome bumper and highly detailed reverse lights. For 1968 Ford authorized a special high performance version of its venerable 302 for specific use by Shelby in their newly christened Cobra GT350. Lift this Mustangs lightweight hood and youll find an authentic J-code V8 that includes a hotter cam heavy-duty connecting rods and a nodular iron crank. Completely rebuilt during the cars |
