Not my words but they seem to be eluding to some some secret history on  this 68 GT500KR & at $420k i certainly hope so, any ideas apparently the clue is in the gold stripes & 69 wheels ,they left off the last vin#s.

Collector's Dream Cars Las Vegas LLC proudly presents... An original 1968 Shelby. 1 of 299 sold This is likely the rarest Shelby on the planet! 18K original miles! This car is a one owner car that was found in the back of a garage on jack stands since 1978. What is juicy about this car is the history. We would love to share it but the first clue is the '69 Shelby rims and gold striping. Like a time capsule, this car is original with no restoration. Its equipped like a true collector wants one 428 Cobra Jet, 4 speed, Air Conditioning, with the rear folding backseat. Any reasonable offers will be considered!

I love all parchment cars but this is one combination ,I don't think I've ever seen and I thought I saw a thread where no one else had either, found this one while cruiseing the net ,Must be a beautiful combination to see in person.

I love rolling pics and this photographer got some cool rolling pics of my car a few weeks ago after leaving one of our local cars and coffee events ,that I found online his IG is  @sorenswift

Not sure if you guys have seen this already supposedly it was just found a few weeks ago,there was no other info but i do see the Georgia License plate under the front seat ,i can't tell is this the real deal ?

I guess it's raining 31k mile dark moss green GT500's at the moment but check out the weird placement of the tire pressure sticker on this one ,it's listed on Hemmings https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/shelby/gt500/2459527.html#&gid=1&pid=25

I collect vintage Rolexes and some modern watches,but not sure this is a must have for my collection,It says they used actual pieces of the green hornet and big red to make these watches.

If you've ever been to a car show in SoCal in the last decade you've probably seen this talented young artist Deven Hitchens sitting in his chair doodleing with his crayons  and pens of some cool car at a car show, so I was honored to have him do this one of my Shelby recently with my #1724 Shelby vin. His Ig is @Hitchensartwork  he did mine in person but can do from pictures also & is pretty reasonable I thought.

Found this cool follow up video of the restoration of the Lime green Gt500 barn find from a few months back, looks like they saved a lot of the original parts.

Is this the correct radiator tag i see on the AMK site  for an early 67 gt500 non A/C auto car ,the examples i've seen don't seem to have the 8005 #s between the CZE-E2 if not does someone have another source thanks Adam

Not sure If you guys saw this one already

$88k 68 GT500 estate sale makes me wonder but if legit seems nice for someone.

You'd think for that price Of $266k you'd could at least get a decent steering wheel & a bit more of the air cleaner parts,steering wheel looks like it came out of a modern mustang,always love that color combo though.

What the preferred look on the way a GT500 should sit should it look level or was there  a natural rear end sag from the factory like i see a lot of ,taking measurements from top of fenders to ground I'm 25" 3/4 inches in front & 25" 1/4 in back with goodyear speedways so 1/2 in lower in the back

This was kinda cool a 3 part series on the big 3 from the early days through to about the "90's" was hoping they'd cover Shelby's but not really .But some good muscle car stuff they really covered the GTO & John Delorean  with the street racing scene on Woodward Ave in Detroit back in the day,before my time but cool stuff.

Looks like a huge parts collection for sale ,north of the border

Where zip ties even invented in 1967 I see them a lot ,and if so would it be the clear ones or the black ones ,hanging off the export brace and how many would there be just two ,on the passenger side ?  Holding up some wires from the battery ? Thanks

This event is live streaming all weekend & fun to watch if your stuck at home  ,it's standing 1/2 mile racing on an airstrip ,plenty of modern Shelby's & Mustangs racing & even saw couple Factory 5 cobra's running  also ,these are really fun events,put on by Shift sector , i attend all the CA ones with my  modified 911 turbo my top speed is 174 mph .
