Earlier GT350s were lighter and built for the track, but the '68 mixed muscle-car punch with a bit more luxury and some wild looks. Fiberglass panels, sequential taillights, hood and side scoops, and unique badging made sure nobody would mistake it for a regular Mustang.1968 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350Bring a TrailerThis fastback stands out for its rarity. Only 1,053 GT350 fastbacks rolled out in 1968, and less than half got the four-speed manual. Throw in the Highland Green paint and black interior, and you're looking at just 356 cars built like this. The Marti Report and original build sheets are icing on the cake for collectors chasing factory-correct Shelbys.Final ThoughtsThis GT350 checks all the boxes for late-60s Shelby fans: factory manual, solid history, cool options, and that unmistakable Highland Green paint. The restoration seems to have kept the car's original vibe while sticking close to its factory roots.AdvertisementAdvertisementWith the auction still running, the current bid hasn't caught up to what these GT350s usually bring. If recent Shelby sales are anything to go by, this fastback could be one to watch as the clock winds down.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
