Description
EXTREMELY RARE-VERY LOW MILES-GREAT CONDITION
Vehicle Description

This is one of 933 KR's built and one of the less than 30 painted a special color for late 1968, YELLOW. 428 Cobra-Jet engine; C-6 Automatic Trans.; Koni shocks; Lucas running lights; Sequential tail/brake/signal lights; Philco "AM" radio (needs tuned in); Factory Shelby roll-bar with harness; and has 5 of the Shelby original 10 spoke wheels.

The interior is the deluxe basketweave; woodgrain dash; cobra embossed in center console armrest. The interior is totally 68 original except for the headliner, carpet, dash pad, bezels, and door panels are all about 15 years old and still look new.

The engine has only been cleaned up, has not been out of the car like some of the ones that are out there. This car is in some respects as nice as many of the newer ones today.

Vehicle Condition

The biggest problem with this KR is the fact that it does not have enough miles and so many people do not believe that a 1968 can have only 31,146 total actual miles. Another problem is that when I do take her out; I have a problem with gawkers wanting to touch, or open the hood, or get in and sit behind the wheel....now you can have that problem.

The Philco AM radio was sent off and checked out and was told to get it tuned in. The tachometer quit working about a year ago and I never had it checked out since I do not drive the car very much. This is a super driver, grabs attention as you drive by or while sitting at light. This car has never been abused, raced, or left in the weather....has never been driven on wet roads since I purchased this car in 1974 as the second owner. The only time it has been in the rain is when I have it entered in S. FL car shows. Please e-mail me with any and all questions that you may have concering this car...I also imploy anyone that is interested in a Classic such as this to contact the national clubs....Like Mustang Club of America and/or Shelby American Auto Club or any other club or body and ask questions about the car that you are bidding on. Also if you want more photos just let me know and I will take and send to you ASAP....

On Sep-17-02 at 08:41:36 PDT, seller added the following information:

Inadvertently left this important fact out of original listing.....The KR was re-painted 12 years ago due to and accident when a contractor that was acid washing my home didn't realize that the overspray from the acid would damage paint. The overspray left brown spots all over the car, the insurance adjustor from Zurich called around and found a shop to re-paint my KR back to the original color and without flaws. The paint was completed with the same type of paint that came on the car in 1968 which was enamel (not lacquer and not base-coat-clear-coat, as neither of these were on the cars then). The paint job cost almost $6,000 and is still today as nice as it was then. This info was not intentionally left out.
