Take a look at this cool magazine ad about the 1968 Shelby Cobra GT350/500. It starts off, "Carroll Shelby designed his Cobra GT to go like it looks." It talks about the two engine offerings. It talks about 130mph rated nylon tires. In one shot they show a model with her head against the rear bumper - can you hear the ocean?
Here is a cool one. It is a cutaway drawing of a 1968 Shelby with call-outs to all the options. It starts off, "Shelby Cobra GT performance is built-in, not tacked-on." The call-outs are a bit hard to read. (1) Performance is exciting with these GT engines: GT-350, 250 hp 302 ci-in V8; GT-500, 360 hp 428 cu-in V8 (optional). Each engine features (2) high volume Cobra intake manifold, (3) 4-barrel carburetor, (4) dual exhausts, (5) low restriction air cleaner. Every engine looks the part, too, with (6) Cobra rocker covers, chromed filler cap, dipstick. Handling is "right now" with (7) high-rate front coil springs, (8) high capacity adjustable shock absorbers front and rear, (9) front stabilizer bar, (10) 16.0:1 power steering, (11) heavy duty four-leaf rear springs with (12) anti-windup dampers, (13) heavy-duty rear axle. Tires and brakes match the GT's performance. (14) Power-assisted front disc and (15) heavy duty rear drum brakes work with (16) 4-ply nylon tires and (17) 6" rim width 15" safety wheels. Other safety items include (18) front inertia-reel shoulder harnesses and seat belts (seat belts in rear), (19) integral overhead safety bar, (20) safety-sequence tail lights, (21) front marker lights and (22) rear quarter reflectors, (23) rectangular fog lights and (24) dual brake system, (25) collapsible steering column and padded center steering wheel, (26) unitized chassis and body.

Candy Apple Red 1968 Mustang hardtop that was owned by Robert Nix. It has the 200ci 6-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. Robert adds, "These are vintage photos of my first Mustang, purchased in September 1968. It was my car while I served in the US Army at Ft Knox, Kentucky from 1969 - 1972. The Ft Knox sticker can be seen on the left front bumper in this shot." Robert has a Race Red 2013 Mustang GT now.
