A refurbishment in 2015 has left this 1968 Shelby GT350 H looking extremely nice, and judging by the photos, this is a classic that is ready to be driven and enjoyed by a lucky new owner. If you would like to be that owner, then the Shelby is located in Taunton, Massachusetts, and has been listed for sale here on eBay. Bidding has now reached $40,100, but the reserve hasn’t been met. I’m not surprised to note that there are currently 204 people who are watching the listing.

It’s worth pointing out here that the Shelby has received more of a cosmetic refurbishment than a restoration. This is because it was originally finished in Highland Green, but during the 2015 refresh, the previous owner chose to have the color changed to its current Raven Black. The quality of the workmanship appears to be quite good, and there are no visible signs of rust on the Shelby’s outside. The photos of the vehicle’s underside aren’t the greatest, but they seem to indicate that the floors and frame are nice and solid. The car rolls on a set of aftermarket wheels, but it isn’t clear whether the originals are included as part of the sale. The overall presentation of the car seems to be extremely good.

The refresh process was not confined to the exterior of the Shelby, with the interior becoming the focus of a similar level and quality of restoration work. It is hard to find anything much to be critical of, which is hardly surprising for an interior that is only about 4-years-old. It appears that there have been no aftermarket additions or modifications made to the car, but given the black on black color combination, the inclusion of factory air conditioning will no doubt be welcome on warmer days. In addition, the car was optioned with a tilt wheel, AM radio, tinted glass, tachometer and trip odometer, and a Sport Deck rear seat.

The 1968 model year marked a major change in mechanical configuration, with the previous 289ci V8 making way for the 302 unit, producing 250hp. This car also comes fitted with a C4 automatic transmission, power steering, and power disc brakes. Once again, the drive-train of the Shelby has come in for its share of attention during the refurbishment, with the engine receiving a rebuild, and the transmission received a check and reseal. The brakes came in for some treatment as well, with new calipers, a new master cylinder, a new booster, and new rotors having been fitted to the car. The owner says that the vehicle runs and drives well, with the engine feeling very strong.

Both the Shelby Register and Marti agree that during 1968, there were 224 Shelby GT350 H “Rent-A-Racers” built and that this car is one of them. It is a nicely presented car, and if the fact that it wears a different paint color and wheels doesn’t bother you, then it is a car that is ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately. However, there is no reason why the next owner couldn’t choose to subject the car to a repaint that would return the car to original. Whether this process would be financially viable would depend on what the car finally sells for. Would you return the car to Highland Green, or leave it Raven Black?
