1968 driver or project
« on: July 19, 2021, 08:05:53 AM »
Do any entry level/driver quality 1968 Shelby in need of tlc still exist? Hell  I’d even consider  a complete project . Only requirement is a 4spd car.

At this point, are they all restored?

gpm6367,  There are some still out there...  I went to look at one (non 4sp tho) just a couple of months ago that was up for auction locally.  27K original miles, but had been parked for 40 years uncovered under a carport.  Interior was in great shape, but exterior had surface rust (nothing eaten thru tho) just about all over.  Engine in need of at least valve seals, as when they started it up, lots of blue smoke initially.  Never heard anything about the results of the auction, but just last week I ran into the guy who ran the auction at a local cars and coffee.  He told me that he had 3 bids of over $100K, with the last one being $110k, and the owner turned it down (owner is the son of the original owner).  Was in shock...  Car would need at least $50k worth of work just to make it a nice driver.  They are still out there tho...

I just came across 2 68's in a guy's barn.
Both have been sitting since the 80's..
One's a GT 350 and the other is a KR
