Fastback Convertible The 1968 Shelby introduced the newly designed hood which now featured twin scoops at the leading edge of the car and a dual pin and stock Mustang hood lock mechanism. Other changes what a larger grille opening created by a fiberglass front valance panel with the first American twin rectangular driving lights. Just before 1968 Shelby production, the Shelby manufacturing group (Shelby Automotive Inc.) moved from Torrance, California to Ionia, Michigan due to the need for high quality fiberglass as more components required it. This lead to the three Shelby divisions of the Shelby Automotive Inc., Shelby Racing Co., and Shelby Parts. Interesting facts is the fact that some cars came with Ford's tilt-away steering column but was not an option that could be specifically ordered; also all air conditioned models came with tinted glass directly from Ford which was not altered by Shelby. A new 250 hp, 302 cubic inch, V8 engine was offered as well as a 360 hp, 428 cubic inch Police Interceptor V8; and a 335 hp, 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8. Mid 1968, Shelby introduced the GT-500KR or "King of the Road" which used Ford's new unofficially rated 400hp, 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet engine along with other handling/safety modifications to contain the power. One of the most popular convertible options was surf board attachment rings located on the top of the rollbar.
