Coming off of back-to-backs wins against Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967, Ford took the reigns from Carroll Shelby in 1968 and manufactured the Shelby GT500 in-house. Production was moved from California to Metuchen, NJ. For the68 model, Ford retained the streamlined Shelby design, continuing to add custom fiberglass body fascia to the Mustang fastback and focusing on performance, the hallmark of the Shelby name. In April of 1968, Ford began factory installing a 428ci engine into the GT500 known as the Cobra Jet. Therefore, the Cobra Jet 68 Shelby became known as the GT500KR, KR representing “King of the Road”. Rated at 335hp by the factory.
