A Ford GT's long lost cousin.

I decided to go the auction route with my 68' KR. It will be up for sale in January in Scottsdale at Russo and Steele.

It's the first 68' SAAC Concours Gold "Special Paint" car to cross the block, ever. The only made 38 like it, Paint Code WT6066 "Special Yellow", 4Spd. It's like the day it rolled out of the factory. It sat in Ohio in a barn from 1972-2006 before found, sold, and restored. Well Documented car, Keith Craft rebuilt the engine (428 Cobra Jet), it's nasty.

Here's the "Special Paint" History and Story, cool part of Ford History:

very, very nice car ! what is your target sale price (if you don't mind me asking)? feel free to PM me if you'd rather not post it publicly. i go the the AZ auctions every year (mostly R&M and Barrett). I think i will visit Gooding this year, too. but i may have to stop by Russo & Steele to see this one go ovder the block.
