Carroll Shelby’s collaboration with Ford Motor Company began as a result of Shelby’s
success in racing.  Ford was anxious to position Mustang with other 1960’s Muscle Cars
     and so was born the Shelby Mustang. 1968 Shelby Mustangs came standard with fiberglass hood,
decklid and side scoops. The fiberglass front fascia included the first driving
lights ever installed on a production car and the fiberglass rear fascia is accented by
sequential tail lights.  The reel-type racing harnesses and rollbar were standard equipment.
This Sunlit Gold 1968 Shelby GT350 Cobra Mustang is one of 803 fastbacks which featured Ford’s
new 302cid engine.  It is one of nine built in the colors & options you see.
