Not my words but they seem to be eluding to some some secret history on this 68 GT500KR & at $420k i certainly hope so, any ideas apparently the clue is in the gold stripes & 69 wheels ,they left off the last vin#s.

By his own ad there must be 299 more of "the rarest". Maybe he's got a story that the gold stripes denote it was a prototype Hertz car.
The seller is showing his ignorance. There is a laundry list of incorrect items including the ones you mentioned (gold stripes and wheels) . The car has definitely been repainted
It's number 3933. Apparently the only one with mascara?
At that price those stripes better be real gold(and VERY thick)... :o
I have a only car also. It is the only one with the number that it has. Also, no signature. Never took the glove box off and had it signed, and re-installed it. NEVER!
My car is a 1 of 1 also...the only Shelby I have owned... ::) ;D
RARE and 1968 d9nt belong in the same sentence.....lmao !

'68 must have been the best year Shelby, since the most were sold.

nah there were so many left over on dealer lots in 69 it hurt the 69 sales. Lol ok, enough kidding while I think the 69 wheels look great on this car WTH is this seller talking about? Obviously he lives under a rock and doesn't know about the gold fuelie car. Gary
Here's another listing for the super rare Shelby on Hemmings ,where it shows a lot more detailed pictures of the undercarriage.

How did he arrive at that price? Kelly Blue Book?
I thought big block a/c cars had oil coolers?

Good point.
I can tell you exactly where that price came from, but I don't want to burn this thread to the ground.
Driven less than 400 miles a year (18k), the rare parts are stripped off and two of the Shelby tags have been replaced.
Everything else you need to know is summed up by this statement from the auction ...
"I'm a used car dealer"

If he can sell at anything near that price then he's a genius and we are just dumbas ses. I don't think that's the way it's going to go though? ;)

It's great to see it all simplified ;D
Love the gold stripe. The blackout on the headlight buckets, not so much. You would think an 18000 mile car would not have had its idler arm played around with (attaching bolts in wrong direction).
Must be an Aldo Nova fan big time....
