For those who appreciate classics

This is my friend Tony's car...a numbers matching 1968 Shelby KR500. Lord knows what it's worth, but it's alot. This car is a show stopper...simply beautiful. I hope you agree (forgive the quality of the pics..I didn't take them ).

Love the classics. Very, very, nice car.
Barrrett Jackson had one of these on his show a couple of years ago, I don't recall the exact number, but it brought well into the six figures.

She's a beauty.

I will never forget the ride I got in my friends 69 428 super cobra jet mustang.

I respected Mustangs after that day.

but

My 427 68 Camaro could still low his doors off

Hey Don,

Can't see much of the street but it looks like one of the Somerville gatherings?

Cool Car

Beautiful classic!

My best friend had a Shelby GT500 back in the late 60's. He let me drive it just about any time I wanted, and to this day, am still impressed by the Shelby's of that era.

Your buddy has one the best examples of American Muscle!

Amazing, just amazing...

I was curious what the original MSRP was on that so I looked it up, along with the 'ballpark' value today - it's definitely worth a bunch.

Original MSRP: $4,900
Low Retail: $90,800
Average Retail: $125,700
High Retail: $216,000

See below (clicking the picture will take you to the page on nadaguides.com):

Good find, 50thAnnivZ06. That is amazing, especially considering that a $4,900 investment, earning 10% interest since 1968, would be worth around $180K today.

(And you can't drive a 401K)
