1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Convertible “Factory Shelby Paxton Supercharger”

Shelby GT350 Convertible (1968): Extremely Rare and Exceptionally Original

Some cars catch your attention, but every so often one appears that simply commands authority—a machine that needs no introduction. This 1968 Shelby GT350 Convertible is, in our view, exactly that kind of car. It is one of the extraordinarily scarce, factory-original award-winning Shelbys that has survived in remarkably authentic and well-preserved condition.

This rare GT350 left the factory equipped with the even rarer Shelby Paxton Supercharger—one of only four examples believed to have been fitted with this setup from new. Even seasoned Shelby experts consider this configuration to be genuinely unique.

The color combination is exactly what you expect from a GT350 proud of its heritage: Highland Green. The paint presents beautifully—deep, crisp, and full of character—paired with black bucket seats that strike the perfect balance between sporting intent and understated elegance. This example has not been restored and certainly not modified; it is a Shelby that has been exceptionally well-kept. An American icon that shows you exactly what 1968 truly looked and felt like. That, in our opinion, is something genuinely special.

The documentation is equally outstanding. This Shelby comes with an extensive history file, a Marti Deluxe Report, and—importantly—it is signed by Carroll Shelby himself. That is not a detail; that is a trophy. You are not merely acquiring a car—you are taking possession of the signature of the man who created it. In short, this is a world-class Shelby on multiple fronts.

The driving experience is exactly what you would expect from an original '68 equipped with a Paxton supercharger: powerful, smooth, and unmistakably mechanical in character. The car feels solid, correct, and authentically connected in everything it does. The convertible configuration adds its own charm—sporting, open, and infused with that unmistakable American flair only the 1960s could produce.

This is a Shelby that stands apart—not by shouting, but through its rarity, its authenticity, and its almost unbelievably preserved condition. It is an award-winning example, and that comes as no surprise. The combination of originality, unique factory configuration, and a signature from one of the most important figures in automotive history makes this one of those cars you encounter only once in a lifetime.
