Tough to say 'how many are still out there'.

I also have a G.T.500 4speed FB and my Marti report shows 405 built with the 428/4speed out of 1020 G.T.500 built in 68.

Post by: Coralsnake on October 09, 2019, 02:00:41 PM: The rate of cars that still exist is likely near 85%. Thats an educated guess. You will not find an accurate number because there is no way to determine exactly.

If you are asking how many GT500 fastbacks were originally 4 speeds, I think Chris’ number of 405 is accurate

The Shelby World Registry is helpful answering these questions

Post by: 427heaven on October 09, 2019, 06:52:48 PM: This might be a stretch but I'm gonna ask... Any idea how many were Acapulco Blue with parchment interiors? If not known, a possible (approximate)?

Post by: Coralsnake on October 09, 2019, 07:43:45 PM: Its likely single digits, once you wash out the statistics to the fifth level of features, the numbers thin very fast.

That's why "1 of 1" is nothing more than a marketing ploy

And the results of that is often proof of how unpopular the combination was when new ::)

Post by: 427heaven on October 10, 2019, 10:25:33 PM: I was looking for a price point and rarity of a 68 GT 500KR VERT 4 gear, with or without AC. Acapulco Blue, white top white interior. Thanks in advance! :)

Post by: 427heaven on October 11, 2019, 09:47:13 PM: Was it white or parchment? Or some other variation of a white.

Post by: Coralsnake on October 12, 2019, 05:50:12 AM: Saddle or black were the only choices
Title: Re: Number of 68 GT500 4 speed cars
Post by: shelbydoug on October 12, 2019, 06:44:24 AM: I thought maybe there was one engineering car he was talking about? I've never seen nor heard of anything but black and saddle for '68s but have learned never to say never. It only takes one.
Title: Re: Number of 68 GT500 4 speed cars
Post by: Coralsnake on October 12, 2019, 06:50:17 AM: Im not not aware of anything except black or saddle

Post by: shelbydoug on October 12, 2019, 07:16:46 AM: I haven't either but maybe he saw one of those clonie things? You now, the fake counterfeit Shelby's someone built in a cornfield somewhere?
