In the name of Shelby & Cobra enthusiasm, I can't recall seeing a thread about what Shelby product we first owned.
Would be cool to see original pix, info, and the date(s) that you owned it. Even better if you still own it.
And can we please have no critiques, flaming, trolling or other negative comments on this thread? This is about Shelby fun & memories.
I'll go first.
1968 GT500KR fastback, white with black interior. 4-speed.
Bought in 1982, in SoCal. Promptly blew-up the 427 side-oiler the PO had installed.
Stupidly let the car sit without an engine for 20 years before (even stupider) selling it to Ron Butler's son.
After painfully serving the appropriate penance, I bought it back from Butler in 2013. Butler had kept it stored away and completely untouched.
I installed stroked aluminum 427 side-oiler (553 hp on dyno) from Shelby/Denbeste in 2014.
Added a few Day Two parts.
Listed in the 1968 Shelby Registry.
I will never let go of the car again!
