Lot #1471 - This 1968 Shelby GT500 convertible is #00877 in the SAAC registry and is verified by a Marti Report (included with purchase). It is one of 402 GT500 convertibles produced in 1968 and one of three built in this specific configuration. Painstakingly restored, this Shelby was built with driving in mind. Power comes from a 428ci V8 engine with added electronic ignition, and the standard gearbox has been replaced by a TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission. The GT500 sports a factory Candy Apple Red exterior with an all-new saddle leather interior. Factory equipped options include power top, visibility group, wheel well moldings, power steering, power front disc brakes, tilt steering wheel, AM radio, interior decor group, tinted glass, tachometer and trip odometer. The original factory air conditioning system has since been replaced by a Vintage Air climate-control system. The GT500 was rebadged as a KR model.
