| 1968 Shelby GT350 |
| A rare icon of American muscle performance and drop-top style, this 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 Convertible carries Shelby number #03117 and is fully authenticated in the SAAC Shelby Registry. Purchased new in July 1969 from Jack Gibbons City Ford in Watchung, NJ, this example comes with a incredible 36-year single-owner static garage storage history (1982"2018). As one of only 404 GT350 convertibles built for 1968-the inaugural year of Shelby production moving under Ford control to Ionia, Michigan-it is inherently rarer than its fastback counterpart. Key Highlights & Provenance Low-Production Spec: One of 214 convertibles built with the 4-speed manual, and one of just 97 finished in factory Sunlit Gold. Numbers-Matching Drivetrain: Factory-original 302ci V8 (engine block stamping matches chassis sequence #185142), paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, 9-inch rear end, and 3.89:1 conventional gears. Exterior & Rolling Stock: Resprayed in its factory-correct Sunlit Gold (Y code) in the early 1980s, complemented by a black power top, reproduction Shelby wheels, and a factory-style replacement exhaust system. Interior Decor & Options: Black vinyl luxury bucket seats (6AA), date-coded seatbelts with shoulder harnesses, wood-grain interior accents, tilt-away steering column, power disc brakes, power steering, AM radio, and the iconic padded roll bar.
