The owner of this 1968 Shelby GT 350 may well be the most dedicated Carroll Shelby fan you will ever meet. He knew Shelby personally and is a devoted collector of Shelby memorabilia with hundreds of autographed items from mugs used by Shelby to helmets, jackets and signed photographs. His collection includes the valuable files from the original Shelby American company that produced the Cobra and LeMan’......s winning Daytona coupes. In the end, the real prize of his Shelby collections may well be the 1968 Shelby GT 350 he has owned for nearly 50 years.
He obtained the car in a trade. It was really just a shell with no engine. In a labor of devotion the car underwent a lengthy restoration although it might be better to say it was rebuilt to the highest standards with an emphasis on performance and handling.
So this is no ordinary Shelby GT 350, this car has been beefed up to deliver performance. The engine is a 351-C Boss V8 with 4 Bolt Mains. This engine now delivers an impressive 539.6 HP with a high 11.5-1 compression ratio. The valve covers are the original Shelby lettered versions.
The engine is feed by Webber 48 I.D.A. carburetors through a Shelby lettered intake manifold.
This car is built to withstand the rigors of competition. The transmission is a Richmond Bullet Proof 5 speed. The rear end features a 4 pinion Traction Lock differential. Special competition Wilwood racing disc brakes are used on all 4 corners. Aluminum American Racers wheels are used with small number Goodyear tires to achieve maximum grip.
The fastback body is done in a dramatic Jade Green Metallic paint with a Shelby GT 350 strip on the sides and all the Shelby lettering and badges. The black interior includes Mach 1 bucket seats.
A frequent competitor at local drag strips the car’......s best time in the quarter mile is 11.91 at 123 miles per hour. At the same time the car is a consistent winner at Shelby American Automobile Club meetings all over the country. It is impossible to list all the SAAC Popular Car Show awards this Shelby has won over many years.
As a show winner this Shelby GT 350 has graced the cover of the SAAC magazine and has been featured in a number of magazines including Hot Rod, Mustang Illustrated and Fabulous Mustangs. It has even been a television star appearing in the series, “......The Exciting World of Speed and Beauty.”......
The owner has extensively documented the life of this car so its history will be included for its new owner.
With incredible performance and a near perfect body this car is an opportunity to own the ultimate Shelby memorabilia. In fact the car comes with Carroll Shelby’......s autograph on the glove box.
