The GT350 is an impressive car. Its sleek lines and aggressive yet stylish appearance are imposing, and the sound and driving experience amplify this feeling to Mach 1! The 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is an icon among classic American muscle cars, symbolizing power, speed, pure automotive engineering, and unique history. Born from the collaboration between Ford and the legendary car designer Carroll Shelby, this car combines the raw power of the Mustang with Shelby's refined racing expertise. The result? A machine that not only makes an impression on the road but also leaves its mark on automotive history.

The GT350 made its debut in 1965, during a time when Ford was in the midst of its ambitious campaign to defeat Ferrari at Le Mans. This mission brought Ford into contact with Carroll Shelby, a collaboration that almost naturally led to the creation of the ultimate sporty Mustang. The first GT350 models were equipped with a tuned 289 cubic inch (4.7-liter) V8 engine, which delivered an impressive 306 horsepower thanks to a Holley carburetor and improved exhaust system. Shelby went beyond just the engine; he also thoroughly revised the chassis by adding Koni shock absorbers and stabilizer bars, significantly improving the car's performance on winding roads.

In 1968, the GT350 underwent several updates, including the introduction of the new 302 cubic inch (4.9-liter) V8 engine. Options were also added to slightly increase comfort, such as the availability of an automatic transmission. Despite these refinements, the car remained true to its sporty roots, with its powerful V8, robust chassis, and the iconic Shelby roll cage behind the front seats.

The example offered here, a stunning red 1968 Shelby GT350, is the ultimate specimen in a fantastic color scheme and in excellent condition. Painted in the eye-catching and classic Candy Apple Red and adorned with original Cobra logos, this car exudes both pure power and elegance. The bodywork has been perfectly restored, featuring the signature Shelby details such as the lightweight hood with air vents, the optional ten-spoke wheels, and the original striping. The details are spot-on, ensuring that this example has the correct appearance, which is so important for a car of this caliber.

Inside, the car is just as impressive, with an interior that is fully in line with the original. The roll cage, the sports steering wheel, and Carroll Shelby's signature on the glove box complete the picture. Every drive in this Mustang is an experience in itself; the roaring V8 engine provides an unforgettable combination of sound and acceleration that gives any car enthusiast goosebumps.

After the restoration, the car has been maintained with the utmost care, meaning this GT350 is not only a feast for the eyes but also ready for a new adventure. With a complete Marti report and service booklet at hand, this Mustang is perfectly prepared to offer its next owner the same driving pleasure as when it first left the showroom.
