1968 SHELBY GT350 CONVERTIBLE RE-CREATION

This re-creation of a 1968 Shelby GT350 was built for and donated to the Carroll Shelby Automotive Program at Northeast Texas Community College by Barry Smith, owner of Legendary GT Continuation Cars in Roaring Springs, PA. This Continuation-series Shelby GT350 is built from the original 1960s-era Mustang, with factory VIN and original title. The car was stripped to bare metal for transformation into the Shelby GT350 model; built in the same spirit as those that won the FIA Sports Car World Championship in 1965 and dominated racing in the period. The body is finished in Wimbledon White and has all-new fiberglass and steel panels, including reinforced shock towers and Shelby-specific parts. The engine is a 302 Ford small-block with a 4-speed Toploader manual transmission. The parts used to complete the driveline/unibody include (but are not limited to) the differential, brake system, all suspension parts, gas tank, fuel system parts, cooling system and wiring harness, and are either New Old Stock, refurbished originals or remanufactured. The final assembly of the vehicle needed parts unique only to Shelby, including Shelby wheels, tires, convertible top parts, windshields, side windows, window hardware, dash gauge cluster, console, taillight assembly, fog lights, grille, emblems, seats, carpeting, body seals, roll bar, steering column and bumpers. **TITLED AS A 1968 FORD MUSTANG** **100% OF HAMMER PRICE TO BENEFIT NORTHEAST TEXAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION BY PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE CARROLL SHELBY AUTOMOTIVE PROGRAM AT NTCC** **WILL BE SOLD AT APPROXIMATELY 5:30 P.M.
