1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible
428 Cobra Jet · Acapulco Blue · One of Only 267 With A 4-Speed · Fully Restored & Marti Report
Your Chance to Own One of the Most Iconic Shelby’s Ever Built!
We’re excited to announce the newest addition to our inventory: a spectacular 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible, finished in factory-correct Acapulco Blue over Black. And yes, it has the highly desirable 4-speed manual transmission (one of only 267)!
The “KR” stood for King of the Road, and underneath the hood is the legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8 that helped earn it that name. Combine that big-block power with a 4-speed, open-air convertible body, and classic Shelby styling, and you have one of the most desirable combinations of the muscle-car era.
This example has undergone a comprehensive high-quality restoration and is loaded with desirable equipment, including a power convertible top, power front disc brakes, power steering, Tilt-Away steering column, AM/FM radio, shoulder harnesses, and the GT, Interior Décor, and Visibility Groups. A Marti Report accompanies the car and documents its factory specifications and original equipment.
For the serious Shelby collector, they simply don’t get much better than this.
The King of the Road has arrived at Corvette Mike!
