Hi, i have a 68 GT500 4 speed man. fastback and was woundering how many are still out there.

Chris Thauberger

Welcome

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.

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

You guys are good with the numbers simply amazing. Any idea how many 68 GT 500KR 4 speed verts made?

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)?

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  ::)

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! :)
