Which colors are you referring too?

I believe there were only 2 Brittany Blue cars built for '68, and none in Presidential Blue.

A man can dream.

Which colors are you referring too?

It really does help to be in the right place at the right time!! Chance favors the prepared, so everybody's insights can only help.

Keeping my eye open for a mostly original 1968 GT500Kr. I will potentially consider the 1968 GT500 as well.

Looking for the primary specs below:

Mostly Prefer numbers matching with all the original tags and stamps, but will consider period correct replacements. I understand numbers matching means different things to different people but I need to understand the history of changes.

Born with Color Options Listed by desire first to last:
Acapulco Blue
Brittany Blue
Raven Black
Blue

Factory AC

Transmission Heavily Prefer Factory Manual

Heavily prefer a hard top.

Let me know if anybody knows of anything. Thanks for checking out the post. It is time to exchange my hard-earned savings for my lifelong dream car. This will not be a flip. I am in my late 40s and plan on having this one for a long, long time!!

Generally true in my opinion.

Buying directly from an owner is a better idea. Dealers and auctions get the same cars, then mark them up.

Anyone not accounting for the original Shelby tags in this auction, deserves exactly what they get. That should be job one.

I just wish I could find a 68' GT500KR or even a 68' GT500 that wasn't on an auction site. If anybody has some good leads, I would be happy to give my hard earned money to that seller.

A little of both. You are the man when it comes to 1968. I have always been interested in your comments and have been checking out your site. This car looks nice but looks like it doesn't have all that much original left on it. At the right price it seems like a fun car to have but how much would it take to get it back to a little more original? Any real thoughts you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

What do you think of this auction? The car has so little information, and the auction lost steam out of the gate with a bidder who had no intention of buying, throwing a $100K bid. This is quite a bit different from the last auction, which had a good amount of information and a lot of marketing and sales work by the seller. I would love to hear people's honest thoughts as someone who is considering bidding and wants to get into a GT500.
