1968 Shelby KR500 Convertible
45. 96 Original Miles



We have available a unique opportunity to own a 1968 Shelby KR500 convertible. VIN # 8TO3R210230-03614. There were only 518 of these classic Shelby KR500 convertibles ever made in 1968. Few will be undamaged and also have 33 years of records. This particular car has just 45. 96 original miles. We have the Marti report as well. see pictures. It survives undamaged. unmodified and even retains the original interior. It is fitted with optional automatic transmission and tilt away wheel. This car was driven very little and was shown a couple times in the late 70's then preserved by a long slumber in a garage away from the public eye. It slept quietly and was stored in its parking place on blocks for 31 years until the current owner discovered it and returned it to full function. Since 2011 the car has been sympathetically recommissioned with attention to keeping all the proper parts in place. It has complete new exhaust. fuel tank. water pump. belts. hoses. proper tires and full tune up to insure reliability. The car has always been a California / Oregon car so has no rust ever and no repairs to body. Since the long-term owner bought this Shelby to show it he had it repainted in the original Wimbelton white due to minor checking on the fiberglass parts. He also detailed the underside of the car at that time. This was such a high quality refinish that it still looks factory fresh on the outside more than 30 years later. The car starts. runs. and drives as a new Shelby. The next owner can drive and enjoy as an iconic piece of American automotive history. We are sure there are others who know Shelby's much better than us so we will provide these numbers from the door tag. Body 76B Color M Trim6AA Date 17F DSO 802985H . Feel free to call Bob at 541-342-1520 Wk 541-543-6791 cell if any questions.

Feel free to call Bob @ 541-543-6791. Please do not waste both our time with low-ball offers.   This is a real documented 1968 KR500 convertible with a Marti report.   It is not a patched rust bucket. clone. or made up car out of multiple vehicles. It is priced fairly and will sell to the first serious buyer. Thanks. Bob
