1968 Shelby GT500 KR Fastback

What to check before buying

Fastback body and Cobra Jet

Match the Ford and Shelby records to the shell, original 428 Cobra Jet, and transmission. Separate a genuine KR from later upgrades or a changed body.

The period KR was built in fastback and convertible forms. Use dated evidence from the same body style and relevant gearbox.
