About the 1968 Shelby GT500 1968 GT500 Convertible
The 1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible represents the apex of first-generation Shelby muscle, combining Ford's thunderous 428 Cobra Jet V8 with Carroll Shelby's race-bred modifications. With only 402 convertibles produced in 1968, this is the rarest of all GT500 variants. The 428 CJ delivered 335 horsepower through a four-speed manual or C6 automatic, while Shelby's suspension upgrades and distinctive fiberglass nose gave it serious performance credentials beyond typical muscle cars. The '68 model year marked significant styling changes with sequential taillights and revised side scoops, making it instantly recognizable. Today, these convertibles command premium prices at auction, often exceeding $200,000 for pristine examples. The combination of Shelby provenance, convertible rarity, and that magnificent 428 big-block makes this one of the most desirable American performance cars of the era.
