my Chevys are mad !! haha
 

Just picked up this 68 Shelby GT 500....I think my Camaros in the garage are upset !! Maybe jealous?? haha I had asked about value a few weeks ago as this car popped up in a private sale situation from longtime owner/storage and it was one of them..."it's here and now things" !! I do not even have room for the car in the garage and I'm a chevy and mostly Camaro guy all my life, but over the years I have learned to love other makes and models too...So who would not want a real Shelby, right? Atleast I'm gonna enjoy it for a while and then maybe think of selling in a while... maybe not !! haha

I already like this car as I realize all the race-oriented stuff they came with originally...factory tach and aftermarket guages..all the glass parts of course..factory roll bar w/safety harness type seat belts,front discs..rear traction bars..even Koni shocks !! I have a lot to learn, but I will have fun in the process !!

Car is fair condition, 428 auto, candy apple red, black deluxe interior. So it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...5-img_0376.jpg
will need a really good detailing atleast !! I can't wait to get started !!

hope to get it on the lift soon and get some better pics..and thanks Bruce (Bergy) for the info and advice !!

Congrats!!!! TONS of originality on that car - looks like it will clean up nicely. All original fiberglass parts - Even has the correct fog light lenses!

Such a great find! Love these cars...

Please post progress

Don't worry, all the Fords and Chevys can live happily in the garage. I have a good mix of the two and I don't think you can have a better combination of cars.

Very nice. Factory triple black 'vert in Iowa I was looking at for a while. I love those cars.

Re: my Chevys are mad !! haha
 

Thanks guys !!

According to the prior owner, this car has never been registered on any sites or club registries...So which is the 'official' Shelby registry that everyone talks about?

I am a die hard Chevy guy but I would LOVE to get a 65-69 Fastback Mustang...

Thanks Charley !! car now registered ! Is possible for someone to check the registry to see if a car is registered? I did not see that part listed?

Rich, My buddy bought a 65 fastback when he was 15 yrs old and still has it (he's 55 now!) Because of him, I learned to like the fastback style... I especially like this car with the fold dowm rear seat.. I guess all fastbacks had that? When people see my car they are generally surprised how long and sleek it is compared to the &quot;normal boxy&quot; mustangs !! haha I think the longer front end and hood, ducts and especially rear trunk lid add to that long aerodynamis look. Can't wait to take it for a long drive !!
