This Shelby GT350 convertible is one of 404 produced by Shelby Automotive for 1968. As Shelby No. 02884, it rolled off the A.O. Smith Company assembly line on March 8, 1968, and was delivered to Nagle Ford in Rochester, New York, where it was sold new to Frank Fulunker. A rotisserie restoration in the 1990s included a repaint in Candyapple Red and undercarriage detailing including red-oxide primer. With 73,120 miles, the Shelby retains its original sheet metal. The date-code-correct J-code 302 CI 4-barrel V-8 is equipped with the factory Holley carburetor, which has been rebuilt by a Holley expert. The drivetrain consists of the highly desirable 4-speed transmission with 3.89:1 rear axle. Extras include tilt-steering column and Shelby 10-spoke aluminum wheels with white-letter radial tires. After three years of building Shelbys in Los Angeles, Carroll Shelby relinquished 1968 production to Ford, which moved final assembly to A.O. Smith where the GT350 and GT500 Shelbys received updated fiberglass body panels and other components to make them look different than standard Mustangs. Significantly, the front end got a facelift with a larger grille opening, fog lamps and a pair of scoops in the hood. The new rear-end modifications included a duck-tail spoiler and unique rear panel with 1965 Thunderbird sequential tail lights. As the Shelby Mustang shifted from all-out performance to more of a “Road Car,” as it was described in advertising, the 1968 models were enhanced inside by the Mustang’s Deluxe interior plus special console with padded Shelby arm rest, dual gauge pods and a roll bar for convertibles. All 1968 Shelbys came with the Mustang’s heavy-duty suspension. This 1968 Shelby GT350 comes with documentation including the build sheet, owner’s manual with stamped VIN, Marti Report and binder with restoration information.
