1968 Ford GT500KR Fastback

Introduced midyear in 1968, the GT500KR—“King of the Road”—represented the pinnacle of Shelby performance. Powered by Ford’s brand-new Cobra Jet 428 and wrapped in distinctive Shelby styling, the KR quickly became one of the most desirable Mustangs ever produced. Today, authentic and well-documented KR fastbacks remain highly sought after for their rarity, performance and unmistakable Shelby heritage. This 1968 Shelby GT500KR Fastback is an exceptional and highly optioned example, finished in its factory-correct Wimbledon White over black knitted Decor interior. According to its Deluxe Marti Report, this car was built on June 28, 1968, and shipped new to King Motor Company in Anniston, Alabama, where it began its life as one of the most powerful Mustangs on the showroom floor.

Under the hood sits the 428 CI 4V Cobra Jet engine, paired with the 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.50 Traction-Lok rear axle, delivering the torque-heavy performance that made the KR legendary. Additional features include power steering, power front disc brakes, Tilt-Away steering column, Sport Deck rear seat and the Interior Decor Group. Classic 15-inch Shelby 10-spoke aluminum wheels complete the exterior, giving the car its unmistakable Shelby stance. Documented in the Shelby Registry and accompanied by its Deluxe Marti Report, this GT500KR Fastback offers an outstanding combination of authenticity, performance and provenance, creating an opportunity to own one of the most iconic Shelby Mustangs ever built.
