This 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 Fastback is finished in its factory-ordered Lime Gold Metallic over a Deluxe Black vinyl interior. Under the hood is the original, numbers-matching 302ci V8 engine paired with a factory 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.89:1 rear axle ratio.
Factory options include power disc brakes, power steering, an extra cooling package, wheel lip moldings, original Lucas fog lamps, a tachometer with a trip odometer, the Visibility Group, a Philco AM radio, a roll bar with shoulder harnesses, Cobra lap belts front & rear, the Interior Décor Group, 15” aluminum Shelby 10-spoke wheels, and Stewart Warner console gauges for oil pressure & amperage.
Originally scheduled for production on November 21, 1967, this vehicle was completed ahead of schedule and released on November 18, 1967. After trading hands among collectors, it underwent a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration, including a bare-metal repaint, new interior upholstery and foams, refinished wood veneer, a rebuilt brake system, a correct exhaust, and a stainless steel gas tank. The engine compartment and trunk, complete with a spare tire, jack, lug wrench, and mat, were meticulously restored.
The engine stamp pad reads 8T105340, while the vehicle number is 8T115340. With seven of the eight numbers matching, particularly the final four digits, it is assessed as the original engine from production. The block is further stamped with 7H31, indicating an August 1967 production date, and it retains its Cobra intake and proper Holley carburetor. The factory inspection markings and tag on the Toploader transmission confirm it as a correct 28-spline close-ratio unit for a small-block application.
