Wouldn’t this 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible look great in your garage? Yeah, we think so too.

You know you want it. This 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible, found on Craigslist, is cherry, and at $95,000, it’s for serious buyers only. The car is in excellent condition. The paint, which shows well isn’t original, but looks like the original color. For those interested, it’s got a clean title.

Under the hood the Shelby has a 428 Police Interceptor engine. The engine block is correct for the era, but it’s not the original block. This means that while the car looks great, it’s not a numbers matching find, which explains why it’s priced to move. The car also has an automatic transmission.

She's clean and beautiful.

The Shelby GT500 is one of the most sought after Mustangs of all times. It’s desirability is really only topped by the original 1964 ½ Mustangs. The ad for this one was posted two months ago, so if you want to make a serious bid for the car, act quickly. The owner is only looking for serious bidders. The ad says don’t contact him if you only want to kick the tires. This one is priced anywhere from $40,000 to $60,000 less than others that are currently available for sale across the web and in auctions. Although it’s not numbers matching, the asking price is definitely within the ballpark.
