Interior:

The interior of this Shelby GT500 is in beautiful condition, finished in Saddle brown. 1,452 models of the 1968 Mustang Shelby GT500KR were made but only six came with a saddle brown interior. One of them was recently listed on eBay, where the seller explained that the model is so rare that even Carroll Shelby had asked the previous owner if he could buy it.

Mechanics:

The '68 Shelby GT500KR comes equipped with a Cobra Jet V8 engine that's rated 335 horsepower, but really puts out 435 horsepower. (Automakers used to downplay horsepower for insurance purposes). This power is transferred by a very well shifting C-6 Select Shift Cruise-O-matic automatic gearbox. This example drives, shifts and brakes as it should.
