1968 SHELBY GT 500 TRIBUTE

The total production for 1968 GT 500 convertibles was 402. Who knows how many are left. Obviously, it is a very EXCLUSIVE club. This Shelby Tribute GT 500 is a very accurate tribute in almost everyway. Only experts could tell the difference between the two. Going down the road I think it would be impossible!!!   The original examples of this car in this shape would be priced $125,000 to $150,000.  I am in the process of receiving the documents soon that state that $69,000 was spent restoring this Mustang to being a lasting tribute to Carroll Shelby and his legendary street and race cars.  

I drove the car to take pictures of it and people were almost having wrecks just looking at the car going down the street. Do not buy this car if you do not like people giving you the thumbs up at almost every stop light or if you mind people taking pictures of the car with their cell phone as it will happen frequently.  

As you can tell by looking at the pictures it is in incredible shape. It runs great, has lots of power and is a blast to drive.  The engine is a 351 Cleveland coupled with an automatic transmission. It has front power disc brakes and a/c was installed just as the factory did but with the upgraded rotary compressor which is far superior to the old style compressor. It also it equipped with p/s, p/top, fog lights, ten spoke wheels plus all the unique Shelby items like fiberglass side scoops, front and rear trunk and hood, dual exhaust with special tips, deluxe interior with Shelby console. This Shelby Tribute is also equipped with a special Viper alarm with automatic trunk release and door locks.

It also has a very nice AM-FM stereo with special kick panel speakers so you do not have to put any holes in the interior that are not factory. Also, it has that really neat and distinctive Shelby roll bar that is such an eye catcher and some real nice exhaust headers to make the car breath better and add more horsepower and of course make the sound of the exhaust much nicer. The paint is in incredible shape with the exception of a couple minor imperfections on the hood which are hardly noticeable outside in the sunlight.

REMEMBER THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR A PRODUCTION SHELBY CONVERTIBLE AND THERE WERE ONLY 402 MADE OF THE GT500 CONVERTIBLES!!!   WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ARE LEFT.    PLEASE COMPARE THE QUALITY AND PRICE WITH OTHER EXAMPLES OUT THERE AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS SHELBY GT500 TRIBUTE IS A VERY GOOD PRICE.
