1968 Shelby 500KR

[mrhtwls]

Don't know if the car is still for sale- but after doing a little home work, IMHO, I think this car is worth mid- low $70's and probably sell in the high sixties to the right buyer. Cors referensing with Menhiem, and NADA and others, they seem to confirm the value.

Here are three cars that have actually sold, nearest to this car I sould find:

Mean

In 2001 Barret Jackson Auctioned a restored "1 of 42 kr convertibles with a/c and 4-speed combination" The car was white and SOLD FOR $71,280.

High

In 2002 Barret Jackson sold this for $112k- "1968 1/2 , 428 cobra jet. one of the rarest and most desirable shelbys sought after. this car is red with saddle tan interior and equipped with air and 4-speed transmission. this car has been restored to try and meet mca concours specs, including all the hard parts, such as correct air cleaner, starter delay, heatshield, s-tube and smog. this car was represented to me by the previous owner as an original 42,000 mile car. upon looking, i firmly believe this to be true."

Low

on 4/9/03 Auction Ebay 68 GT500KR Conv 4083 Green 4spd went as high as $59,300 without meeting reserve. Description stated that it had AC- not known if it was original or not.


The car is a very desirable, repainted the original color and is a good original example that has been refurbished. I thnk the woman and the new owner would both be very happy if the car sold in the mid- to high $60's, even low $70's if she were patient.

If it were sale by a dealer- they would attempt to randsom it for $85k or more. Volo is tryng to sell a green on tan with 59k miles on it for $105K!

If she wants, she can start high and always come down.


Hope that helps!
