Yup, the one with the 428 "Cobra Jet" engine.
That's pure American muscle right there.
In a collector car market dominated by eight-figure Ferraris, a black Shelby Mustang is a welcome relief. An every-man's hero. A Budweiser in a wine bar.
The auction house does not give a pre-sale estimate. However classic car insurer Hagerty sets a value for this model at $146,000-184,000 in good to excellent condition.
Here it is: a 1968 GT-500KR. That's right: the "King of the Road"
Certainly one of the all-time great muscle cars.
1968 was the only year of the 428 cubic-inch "Cobra Jet" engine ...
... producing more than 335 horsepower ...
... and sporting "Le Mans" on the valve covers — a tribute to Ford's victory at the famous French endurance race.
This model comes with the more desirable 4-speed manual ...
... and it screams late-1960 muscle ...
... from those big hood scoops ...
... to the classic Shelby tail lights.
It's in excellent condition ...
... due to a recent restoration.
The black-on-black paint scheme makes this one mean machine.
We'll take it!
