Description
1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Conv
When you think of significant muscle cars there are a few cars and names which come to mind. At the top of nearly every list you..ll find one ornery Texan, Carroll Shelby, and his fantastic reinterpretation of Ford..s Mustang. More desirable yet are the convertibles and the big block cars, and this gorgeous Sunlit Gold example here is both. Highly documented, a 25+ year SAAC member car and owned by the same man who took delivery for more than 30 years this show ready example is perfect for any high end collection.
The big three pieces of documentation follow this car: The ORGINAL build sheet, the Marti Report and a copy of the original invoice. Here..s how this car left Metuchen on March 5th, 1968:
428CI Police Interceptor V8
C6 Automatic Transmission
Exterior paint: Sunlit Gold
interior: Black Dcor Bucket Seats
White Power Convertible Top w/Glass Rear Window
Visibility Group (light package)
Wheel Lip Moldings
Power Steering
Power Front Disc Brakes
Tilt Steering Wheel
Air Conditioning
AM Radio
Interior Dcor Group
Tinted Glass
Tachometer and Trip Odometer
When Shelby got done with it there were a pile of changes from the specific bodywork to the rollover bar to the Goodyear Speedway tires to the Stewart Warner ..green line.. gauges in the center stack. Completed, it went to Pletcher Ford Sales in Jenkintown, PA, where it was picked up on July 22, 1968 by its new owner, James W. Sole.
Jim kept the build sheet, the copy of the invoice, the original tax form from 1968, receipts for various services throughout the years, the brochures and ads for the car, previous registrations and damn near every SAAC dash plaque and member card he owned. There..s even an autograph from Carroll himself!
You like to see long-term ownership of a car–it means it was something special to the person behind the wheel and not just a toy. Mr. Sole loved the car, and wherever his job took him the Shelby followed. It spent time in Philly, Rochester, NY, Westport, CT, and Palos Verdes, CA before winding up in Rockport, MA. If you..d believe it Jim used the car for his daily transportation through 1989! He retired the car to weekend duty and had the car restored in the next couple of years by specialist Mike White in Bow, Mass. Finished in time for the 1993 show season it took Best Restored Antique at the 1993 Boston World of Wheels show against a ton of competition. Shunning a trailer even after the significant restoration he drove it to the 18th annual Shelby American Auto Club meet and took home silver in class–the highest score handed out for a driven car at the meet. The biggest point deductions? Jim installed a set of Koni shocks and reinstalled the 10 spoke alloy wheels he bought from Shelby in 1981–two big no-no..s in a structured event like that. Out of the 19 points deducted a whopping 13 of them were for the shocks and rolling stock! Suffice to say Mike..s talents and Jim..s dedication produced a gold level vehicle!
Desirable doesn..t always mean rare, and rare doesn..t always mean desirable, but this car is a rare case where both are true. One of only 402 GT500 convertibles produced in 1968, one of 249 with the 428/C6 combo and one of only 82 convertibles (both 350 and 500) in Gold over black. Not as racy as red, not as menacing as black this classic gold beauty speaks to a more refined palette, and is a tough one to find!
