Ford Mustang SHELBY GT500 7L V8 Cobra Jet Lemans 1968
General description :
ABOUT THIS CLASSICVERY SPECIAL OFFER!!: We are honoured to present this Iconic 1968 Shelby Gt500 (7L V8) Fastback. Since the car was professionally restored some years ago, we are happy to say the car is in stunning condition overall, optically as well as technically. The SHELBY GT500 is a factory off tuned sports car where no part of the original car was left untouched, hood, trunk, and most body parts all around were replaced with fiberglass components to save weight. This purebred sports car was equipped with a built-in roll cage. Our SHELBY GT500 is originally equipped with the famous 428-engine known as "COBRA JET" (435HP/325KW). Next to that, this Shelby sports the famous Le Mans version of this Cobra Jet engine. We are talking real performance with a brutal sound. Far ahead of its time, this car also got servo steering, power brakes (discs at the front, drums at the back). Tilt away steering wheel, air conditioning, AM radio and tinted glass all around. The original rims are mounted on wheel lip mounts and are wrapped Bridgestone Potenza rubber. The completely original, perfectly preserved black interior contrasts nicely with the "candy apple red” exterior which was finished with the typical GT500 stripping & COBRA logo. In short, the SHELBY GT500 is an icon, a dream car that speaks to the imagination of car enthusiasts worldwide. The value evolution has been on the rise for many years and since correct specimens are becoming rare this is a sound investment. A recent independent appraisal report can be reviewed on request. This Shelby Coupe has Dutch paperwork which makes it easy to register in any Eu country. Call 0031623679846 for more information. We ship to any location in the world.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
