'68 Shelby GT500

After a long time.. :)
Next.. is another Shelby, a red '68 Shelby GT500.  It's a part of 2013 HW Showroom - Performance.  A friend of mine offered it to me, and i bought it.





Real Life

Beginning in April 1968, Ford began factory installing a version of the 428 engine known as the "Cobra Jet". The GT 500 was subsequently know as The GT 500-KR. The initials KR stood for "King of the road." Ford rated the Cobra jet at 335 horsepower (250 kW), but with 440 foot-pounds of torque at 3400 RPM, the horsepower was considered significantly underrated. Shelby's KR engine was left stock adding die-cast aluminum valve covers with "Cobra Lemans" to note Ford's FE engine family victory over Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.



In The Movie
Unfortunately, i found none information of it was ever used in a movie.
:(
