68 and 69/70 wooden handles are typically the same. The difference in color sometimes has to do with it being made from out of real wood . A natural wood when finished could vary in shade somewhat from one handle to the next . I have seen some that were lighter and some very dark . They typically were in a shade range comparable to the picture.Also the oil from ones hands can darken a handle.

Are the wood handles used only on late 68 shelbys (KRs)?  Black handles for early 68 shelbys?

[Coralsnake]

In 1968, typically the handles are later in the year. The plastic handles are common at the start of production. I would expect the wood handle on GT500 KRs.

It appears to be IMO.
