'68 Shelby
Apparently, there wasn't much to talk about when the '68 Shelbys debuted. With a 250hp, 302 four-barrel replacing the 306hp, solid-lifter 289 Cobra in the GT350, and a single-four 428 taking the place of the previous year's dual-quad big-block, the magazines of the day basically ignored the '68 Shelbys.
Regardless, the GT500 turned in respectable mid-14-second e.t.'s, while the GT350 posted high 14s, which were, surprisingly, quicker than the tests of the '67 GT350s. At mid-year, however, the GT500 became the GT500KR with the 428 Cobra Jet engine, which is listed below with all the CJ Mustangs.
