Price for 68 Shelby GT 500 "KR" Mustang?

[krman68]

I have a KR that is complete and it was appraised @ $70k two years ago - before it was finished. It now is finished and I estimate its value is somewhere north of $70k, prob $75-85K. As others have mentioned in this thread, I've also been offered over $100k for my KR.

I think the value of KR's fluctuates depending upon your geographic areathat its in, the completeness of the car - i.e. theoriginal unique parts still with the car and the condition of the car.

BTW, I've been to Tout's place and seen his red KR - IT IS NICE!!

CJ,

Before you buy it find out if it has knock offs and if the wheels will come off.

Don't think you can even compare the 68 as far as value to the 67. The 68 is now way down the list of Shelby's to own. Color is also another major issue. Most people want either Red, Blue, White or Black. Ginger Brown is going to be harder to sell. I would put value at 45-55K.

I beg to differ with your statement on 68's being "WAY DOWN ON THE LIST...." I would put his Dodge products down there, The Series 1, then when you get in to his Mustang creations 69 and 70 (Unless they are Convertibles which is a whole different category) would be beneath a 68. Of course I am Bias in my opinion, but 67's Run Hotter temp wise than 68's due to a more restrictive grille area and lack of Hood vents and scoop location. and all the Crap about them being built at Shelby's plant in La versus AO Smith.....I have never seen a picture of Carroll Shelby personally assembling any GT350-500 at any plant!! they were all done with his approval. Also 65-67's are "MUSTANGS" whereas the 1968 is known as a "SHELBY COBRA GT500" nowhere on my car does the word MUSTANG appear.
