1968 Ford Mustang, Shelby Cobra GT350, immaculate condition SOLD

Carroll Shelby was an American racing driver, automobile engineer and visionary. His passion for unveiling the all-American V8 engine’s racing potential, transformed AC’s Ace into an SCCA United States Road Racing Champion, Ford’s GT40 into an International Manufacturer’s Championship winner and the Mustang into a repeat SCCA B-Production Class winner. Named as Shelby Cobra GT350, his heavily modified Mustang featured a 289 ci V8 with upgraded manifolds, Holley 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust system, 4-sp manual or 3-sp auto transmission, control arms of unequal length, adjustable tube arms, coil springs over tube shocks, antisway bar, live 9 inch rear axle, semielliptical leaf springs and power assisted recirculating ball steering. In 1968, a year before Shelby retired, the GT350 received an upgraded 302ci V8 power plant with an aluminum intake manifold and a Holley 600 CFM 4-barrel carburetor capable of boasting 250 bhp. This version’s significance was established via a substantially revised body style featuring entirely new front and rear fascias.
The 1968 Mustang offered was sourced and practically remanufactured into Shelby Cobra GT350 specifications by reputable award winning restorers Vetalice Brothers, sons of Joe Vetalice who assembled Mustangs at Ford’s plant for over 30 years. It features the Shelby Cobra GT 350 handcrafted body with trademark longer hood bearing double air intakes, grille-mounted high beams, pillar-mounted brake cooling air scoops, Kamm-type tail with horizontal sequential taillights, wood rimmed wheel and special gauges. The engine fitted is the 302’s maximum displacement 347 Stroker version coupled to a live 9inch rear axle via a 3 speed automatic transmission and suspended via the GT350 control arm, semielliptical spring and coil set up. In 2017 the Shelby Cobra was acquired by a marque specialist who further conducted a series of careful upgrades in practically all areas of the vehicle via hand picking 11 of the most reputable Shelby parts suppliers in the US, UK and EU. The 3-year long and 29000 euro cost process entailed an engine out service, a transmission overhaul, a steering and suspension rebuilt, a full retrim and upgrade of the interior, as well as a full respray in black. Aside from rendering a show winner, these 50 upgrades further solidified the vehicle’s purpose and personality in full co ordinance with Shelby’s original inspiration. It is now offered in stellar cosmetic and mechanical condition, readied to deliver at all purposes ranging from show to race to daily driving.
