This 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 was built in November 1967 and is powered by a rebuilt 302ci V8 mated with a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Lime Gold, the car is equipped with black vinyl luxury bucket seats, a Sport Deck rear seat, power disc brakes, power steering, a tachometer, and a Detroit Locker differential. This example was refurbished between 2016 and 2018, reportedly after decades in storage in California, and was acquired in 2018 by the seller, who has since rebuilt the carburetor and installed a new Centerforce clutch, new U-joints, and a new rear main seal. This GT350 is now offered in Vancouver with a Deluxe Marti report, service records, refurbishment photos, a model of the car, a set of 1968 British Columbia license plates, and clean British Columbia registration.

During the 2016–2018 refurbishment, the body was stripped and repainted in its original color of Lime Gold (2041-A) with GT350 graphics on the lower panels. White Le Mans–style stripes were reportedly added as a dealer option when new and were reproduced during the refurbishment. Wheel-lip moldings were included as an option.

Factory 15″ wheels retain Shelby Cobra center caps and wear 215/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that were reportedly mounted during the seller's ownership. Power disc brakes were optioned when new.

Factory bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and the interior features matching carpets and door panels. Woodgrain trim is present on the doors, center console, steering wheel, and dashboard. Factory options included a Philco AM radio, the interior decor group, power steering, shoulder harnesses, and a Sport Deck rear seat.

An optional tachometer and trip odometer join a 140-mph speedometer ahead of the two-spoke steering wheel. The five-digit odometer shows 76k miles, approximately 2k of which were added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.

The 302ci V8 was rebuilt during the refurbishment and is equipped with an S7MS Cobra intake. Shifting is through a rebuilt Toploader four-speed manual transmission. A Detroit Locker differential was reportedly installed as a dealer option when new along with traction bars. Maintenance performed since the completion of the refurbishment is said to have included a new Centerforce clutch, new U-joints, a new rear main seal, a rebuilt carburetor, and a new oil-pan gasket. Photos of the engine stamping can be viewed in the gallery below.

The stock smog equipment is included in the sale. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery below along with pictures of the car during the refurbishment process.

The Deluxe Marti report lists original colors and equipment along with a build date of November 20, 1967 and initial delivery at Northwestern Motor Car Co. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. An additional page of the Marti report presented in the gallery shows that this car is one of 13 1968 GT350 Fastbacks finished in Lime Gold with a four-speed manual transmission, black vinyl bucket seats, and the extra cooling package.  Service records, a scale model of the car, a spare tire, refurbishment photos, and a set of 1968 British Columbia license plates are included in the sale.

That first day jump has me a little suspicious.

 I sold this car to the current owner about 10 months ago, here in British Columbia. Since then it has been on Craigslist for several months and did not sell. You are all correct in your assumptions about the bidding. At $89,000 USD it is ridiculously over-priced.
