Some incouraging news. This weekend at Mecim Kissimmee a whiite 68 KR fastback sold for 165,000.

I have a Frend that wants to build a 65 GT 350 replica but with a Coyote engine. I know he will need to stiffen the 65 to keep it from twisting. Is there a kit that would be like what Shelby used?
that
Thanks

Love the poem.
Not original paint
Might go for judging when done but am probably willing to take the points for the look.
Doubt it would change the value much.

Thanks for the reply.

I should be getting my white 68 KR soon. The cars original exterior appears to be with lower blue side stripes only. I have seen some 68's with two wide center stripes. Was that a later application? looks great but I'm afraid it is not original and will devalue if I add?

Thanks,

Jack

It was worth $200.00 just to read that.
I think the guy is an advertising Genius.
Look how much play he has gotten already on this just from us.?

Thank all of you so much. I will be definitely looking to all you great people that have replied to the news of my find to help me with your collective expertise.. The, hopefully, final court date is scheduled for this coming Friday. I spoke to the owner just a few minutes ago and we look to have everything wrapped up next week sometime if there is not another postponement..
I will keep you all posted.

Warm Regards,

Jack

Thanks you. That is very encouraging.

Just looked at recent Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale that (2) 68 KR fastbacks sold for over $200,000 ea. Exceptional cars true, but hopefully an indicator up some upward movement in values.

Thanks for all the help guys. I am going to need a correct radiator for the car is anyone knows of one.
I presume they are Date coded?

Thanks,

Jack

Dear Scott,

I agree with you completely.

Hi Guys,

I have been trying for some time to get the photos posted with no success. I have put together a "Drop box" file with a good number of photos. I am no longer going to try to post on this Site. If you wish to see the photos of the 68 KR, I will sent them to any E mail site of your choosing.

Regards,
Jack (tooeys)

What size do the photos need to be.  Nothing in the search section or posting that gives photo size and it will not upload photos.  Please send requested information or an email where a drop box link could be sent.

We have tried multiple times to attach photos.  Have resized, used different browsers and every time it says file full.   No option to attach a drop box file.

These are the photos.
