1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible - One Of Only 57 GT500KRs Optioned With 4-Speed & Air Conditioning, The 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible represents the ultimate evolution of Shelby’s big-block Mustang program. Introduced midway through the model year, the "KR" designation—short for "King of the Road"—was reserved exclusively for cars equipped with Ford’s formidable 428 Cobra Jet engine. Combining aggressive styling, exceptional performance, and open-air motoring, the GT500KR Convertible remains one of the most desirable and collectible Shelby Mustangs ever produced. Finished in its factory-correct Candyapple Red paint with a White power convertible top, this exceptional example benefits from a comprehensive restoration performed by renowned Shelby specialist Rick Parker of Signature Auto. Under the hood resides the 428-4V Cobra Jet V8 engine, paired with the highly desirable factory four-speed manual transmission. Further enhancing its rarity, this GT500KR was ordered new with factory air conditioning—an uncommon performance and comfort combination. According to Shelby records, this car is one of only 267 GT500KR Convertibles equipped with a four-speed manual transmission and one of only 57 examples factory-optioned with both a four-speed manual transmission and air conditioning. Additional features include power steering, power front disc brakes, GT Equipment, Am radio, tinted glass, visibility group, shoulder harness and the desirable Tilt-Away steering wheel. Sold new through JD Ball Ford Inc. of Miami, Florida, this GT500KR Convertible is documented in the Shelby Registry and accompanied by its Deluxe Marti Report, providing further verification of its authenticity and factory specifications. Rarely does a Shelby combine such a desirable specification, documented provenance, and exceptional presentation. As one of only 57 four-speed, air-conditioned GT500KR Convertibles produced, this Candyapple Red example represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive and sought-after Shelby Mustangs of the muscle car 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. After over 25 years in business we have grown to become the Nation’s #1 total collector and specialty car facility. Along with our own departments our facility is also home to the head office of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
