1968 Shelby Mustang GT350, GT500 and GT500 KR (Muscle Cars in Detail)
This volume of CarTech's Muscle Cars In Detail series covers the 1968 Shelby GT350, GT500, and GT500 KR. In 1968, Ford took over much of the production process for Shelby Mustangs and increased production to meet sales demand, marking a transition year.
To appeal to muscle car fans rather than race fans, the cars shifted from a race car feel to high-end performance road cars, offering options like 428 Cobra Jet engines, automatic transmissions, and air conditioning. They evolved from sports cars to exceptional muscle cars.
Each volume in the "In Detail Series" includes an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts, a look at marketing and promotion, and an in-depth study of all hardware and options. It also examines the car's current market status and includes paint and option codes, VIN and build tag decoders, and production numbers.
