bergenfelter Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thought you all might enjoy this, met this person at a car show here in Central IL today, 1968 GT500 - we did a few photos after the show. BTW, we also placed first in our respective classes at the show as well. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky44 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it's a typo, but that's a 68. One of my alltime favorites; you could make a strong argument that our cars are a modern interpretation of that car... insane power, high-speed cruiser, lots of creature comforts, rare and head-turning... The 68 GT500KR convertible was one of my first dream cars 30 years ago; the 13 GT500 convertible is the realization of that dream 30 years later.

bergenfelter Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Was the 68 owner from Peoria? Bill I think? Great pictures. His name is Mike - great person and a long time Shelby enthusiast. He has photos of Carrol in his car, signing the dash. His 68 has been in a number of Shelby expositions. I believe his car is number 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergenfelter Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 The other stunning fact is that these cars were built 45 years apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
