OFFERING MY BEAUTIFUL 1968 SHELBY COBRA GT500 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE. THIS ONE HAS NEVER BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE! SHELBY NUMBER 00255. THERE WERE ONLY 402 OF THESE BUILT AND AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, ANY WERE WRECKED, CRAPED ETC. WE ESTIMATE LESS THAN HALF ARE STILL ALIVE AND MOST ARE IN CAR COLLECTIONS OR MUSEUMS. I AM AN OLDER RACER FROM THE CARROLL SHELBY ERA, RIENDS WITH HIM WHILE HE WAS WITH US. HE PERSONALLY SIGNED THE CAR. THE CAR IS SHELBY RED WITH BLACK INTERIOR. ALL CORRECT EXCEPT FOR TIRES, ATTERY, TARTER, UFFLERS AND TOP. THE TOP IS WHITE AND IN GREAT CONDITION AS IT RARELY IS UP. SHE HAS BEEN STORED IN MY CAR WAREHOUSE WITH OTHERS AND KEPT COVERED, EVER TO SEE RAIN. NEVER RACED. RICK KOPEK PICKED HER FOR THE COVER OF THE NEW SHELBY REGISTRY, O PROUD. A BEAUTIFUL DRIVER AND EASY CONCOURSE RESTORATION. LESS THAN 500 MILES ON THE NEW BLOCK.I DID REPLACE THE BLOCK WITH A CORRECT ONE FOR THIS YEAR. THE MOTOR THEN WAS TOTALLY REBUILT TO SPECS AND RUNS LIKE THE WIND! BREAKS THE TIRES IN ALL GEARS OF THE AUTO TRANNY. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICE AND IS TIGHT WITH NO SLIP. CAN'T FIND ANY SIGN OF RUST ETC BUT THE REAR QUARTER WAS REPAIRED BEFORE I OWNED HER. ONLY ONE RE-PAINT AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE NEW WITH ONLY A FEW CHIPS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO POINT OUT TO YOU. I THINK THE PICTURES TELL IT ALL. PLEASE REVIEW THEM AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.GOOD LUCK BIDDING. MY RESERVE IS WELL BELOW MARKET FOR THIS HISTORICAL CAR.
