The 1968 Shelby GT350 represents a pivotal year in the collaboration between Carroll Shelby and Ford, marking the final year of production at Shelby's facility before Ford took over in 1969. Building on the runaway success of the original GT350 that debuted in 1965, the '68 model evolved with a more refined aesthetic and a focus on grand touring comfort without sacrificing its inherent performance DNA. While earlier models were often criticized for being too raw for daily driving, the '68 found a sweet spot, offering a potent blend of style, power, and improved road manners. It was powered by Ford's venerable 302 cubic-inch V8, equipped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and rated at a healthy 250 horsepower from the factory. The Fastback body style, with its iconic flying buttresses, was the perfect canvas for Shelby's enhancements, which included unique fiberglass components, integrated roll bars, and distinctive badging that cemented its legend. This particular 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Shelby GT350 is a testament to a meticulous restoration, presenting in a stunning shade of blue that perfectly complements its classic lines. Showing a remarkably low 10,000 miles on the odometer, this GT350 has clearly been cherished, having been a regular on the car show circuit where its refreshed interior and updated drivetrain undoubtedly draw considerable admiration. The automatic transmission makes for a smooth and enjoyable driving experience, allowing the driver to fully appreciate the car's presence and the rumble of its engine without the demands of a manual gearbox. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully prepared example of one of the most celebrated American muscle cars ever built.
