About the 1968 Shelby GT500 KR Convertible
The 1968 Shelby GT500 KR Convertible represents the absolute pinnacle of Carroll Shelby's muscle car era. 'KR' stood for 'King of the Road,' and with Ford's legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8 producing 335 horsepower (though widely underrated), it lived up to the name. Only 518 GT500 KRs were built in 1968, with convertibles representing a tiny fraction of that production run, making them extraordinarily rare today. The KR package included functional side scoops, revised suspension tuning, and distinctive badging that set it apart from standard GT500s. This was Shelby's final year of direct involvement before Ford took over production, marking the end of an era. The combination of Shelby provenance, convertible desirability, and genuine rarity has made surviving KR convertibles among the most coveted American muscle cars, regularly commanding seven-figure prices at auction when pristine examples surface.
