1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible For Sale - One Of Only 182 Painted Factory Wimbledon White Paint LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible A pinnacle of late-1960s American performance and one of the most desirable Shelby Mustangs ever produced, the 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible represents the ultimate evolution of Carroll Shelby’s collaboration with Ford. “KR,” standing for “King of the Road,” was introduced mid-year to designate the newly developed 428 Cobra Jet engine—an underrated powerhouse that delivered immense torque and performance, cementing the GT500KR’s reputation as one of the most formidable muscle cars of its era. With just 581 GT500KR Convertibles produced, and only 182 finished in factory Wimbledon White, this example represents an exceptionally rare and highly collectible specification among Shelby enthusiasts. Built on July 26th, 1968, this GT500KR left the factory powered by the desirable just released R-Code 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8 engine, paired with a C-6 automatic transmission and a 3.50 Traction-Lok rear axle, delivering the kind of effortless, torque-rich performance that defined the “King of the Road.” Finished in its factory original Wimbledon White paint over a Black vinyl bucket seat interior, the car presents a timeless and purposeful appearance, further complemented by a Black power convertible top with desirable glass backlite. Factory equipped with an impressive list of options, this Shelby features power steering, power front disc brakes, and the unique tilt-away steering column, enhancing both drivability and driver comfort. The GT Equipment Group and Interior Décor Group further elevate the car’s styling and interior appointments, while an AM radio provides a period-correct driving experience. This example is listed in the Shelby Registry and is documented with its original build sheet and Marti Report, affirming its authenticity and pedigree. It is also complete with its owner’s manuals, adding to its overall desirability for collectors. Combining rare production numbers, highly sought-after factory specifications, and documented provenance, this 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible represents a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic and collectible American muscle cars of the era. -

Company History Legendary Motorcar Company Ltd® first opened its doors in 1985 with a dream of restoring and trading in the finest and rarest of classic and performance cars. Legendary Motorcar soon began producing national show winning restorations and record sales. After three short years our facility had grown to 4000 sq. ft. and restorations and sales began to include all makes and models of muscle cars, always staying true to our goal of producing the best. By 1990 we expanded to 12,000 sq ft, and began selling European marques, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Porsche and of course we continued to sell some of the rarest domestic models. In 2002 Legendary Motorcar Company Ltd. moved into its brand new 55,000 sq. ft. facility. The new Halton Hills location includes: 100 car showroom, fully equipped mechanical and assembly bays, downdraft spray booth and body shop, plus a conference center and is of course the location for the television series “Legendary Motorcar” on Discovery’s Velocity Channel. Each area of the restoration shop is staffed by skilled craftsmen with several 100 years of combined experience. All of this adds up to a complete, state-of-the-art facility for every aspect of your collector car needs from ground-up restorations, to service, appraisals, storage and an ever changing inventory of some of the world’s finest collector and investment cars for sale.
