This is a fabulous find of a completely original & documented KR Convertible, it’s beautiful Lime Gold finish is still better than 95% original, touched up only on the top of the left front fender, it’s original Black interior w/it’s Decor Bucket Seats is near perfect as well as it’s original Black power top still retaining the original part # sticker as equipped from the factory, the powerful 428-4V Cobra Jet engine is an original matching # motor as is the C-6 Automatic transmission, it has the following options : 3.50 Traction-Lok axle ratio, GT Equipment Group, Visibility Group, Power Steering, Power Front Disc Brakes, Tilt-Away Steering Column, AM Radio, Interior Decor Group & the Tachometer w/Trip Odometer,it also came w/the standard 5 Spoke Hubcaps. It was delivered new thru O.Z.Hall Motors from Birmingham,Alabama on July 16th,1968. It’s 1st owner was Eliz Payne who serviced it under warranty @ O.Z.Hall Motors. This car is so exceptional that all others can be judged by it, having all of it’s original components, original body panels & all original floors showing NO RUST EVER other than normal ageing of the undercarriage & engine bay, having all of it’s original clay oxide all in place & all the original factory paint markings on the leaf springs, the drive shaft & front suspension, it has the original red oxide drippings on the floor panels & fender wells that most restorations do not have & are removed when being restored…this is the real deal as you see it !!!. It even has an original build sheet pulled out from under the dash. Now wearing a new set of Goodyear Speedway 350 tires, it completes the appearance that you remember from the original 60’s ads in Road & Track or Motor Trend magazines. This GT-500KR was fully verified & inspected by Ed Myer from the Shelby American Automobile Club where he is a Judge for the Councour events. Ed is one of the most knowledgeable experts on Shelby Mustangs. It has a total of only 70K original miles. To find a survivor this clean & all original is not an easy task. It also has a ton of Shelby documentation & paperwork that will be included for the new owner to enjoy.
