Win this Original 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR from The Cobra Experience
Enter today for a chance to win this Original 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR!
By 1968, the Ford Mustang had already gained iconic status, being a popular choice among U.S. sports car enthusiasts due to its lightweight design, powerful drivetrains and aggressive looks. The arrival of the Shelby GT350 in 1965 gave Ford even more credence on the performance market. The Shelby became increasingly powerful over the years, but that didn’t stop Ford and Carroll Shelby to develop larger and more potent mills. In April 1968, a brand-new version of the 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet V8 engine, with improved breathing heads and larger exhaust manifolds, was launched.
Dropped into the range-topping Shelby GT500, the new engine gave birth to the Shelby GT500 KR.
Engine-aside, the King of the Road was recognizable due to its unique styling. The big vents atop the front grille were highlighted by fog lamps, while the Ford Thunderbird-sourced taillights gave it a wide stance at the rear.
This car is special being a Northern California only car, and therefore rust free. It was purchased new in 1968 and has had only 2 owners in its 53 years.
