The Interior of the 1968 Shelby Mustang

68 tail end

The Interior of the 68 Shelby. This is a shot of the front  and rear seats of the GT 350 featured. The '68 Shelby Mustangs had Deluxe/Comfort Weave seats with inserts at the top center of the front seats. Note the padded rollbar just in front of the back of the window frame. The 68's came with a center console with a padded flip up top. Embossed on the top is a coiled Cobra.  The back of the rear seat lifts up allowing access to the trunk. This car belongs to Dennis Begley. You can also see the aircraft type shoulder harness mounted from the padded roll bar.
Here is a picture of the above car taken from the other side. You can see the stock Ford shifter, the tilt steering wheel, the door panels, the console, the stock Mustang vents in the back and the Deluxe Comfortweave seat covers. This car now has a Hurst shifter that was added when the toploader was rebuilt.

This picture shows the dash board of a '68 GT 500 KR owned by Mark Ward. The Shelby Cobra Mustangs came from the Ford factory as GT Mustangs. Mark's car is an automatic. You can see the carpeted console and the wood grain on the dash. The door panels also had a wood grain panel on them. The console included oil pressure and ammeter gauges. The large round gauges in behind the steering wheel are a speedometer and a tach on the right. If the car came with a supercharger, two more gauges were installed below the two in the console, on the left side would be a fuel pressure gauge, on the right a manifold boost pressure gauge.

The seat belts were stock Mustang with Cobra insert in the middle. The GT 350 to the left belongs to Dan Post. Dan's car has the stock Ford 4 speed shifter. The extra gauges over the glove box to the right are owner installed supercharger gauges.

Wood grain steering wheel was part of the package. In the center of the wheel is another SHELBY COBRA emblem and a coiled snake.

To the right of the dash is a unique and different coiled snake and a GT 350 or GT 500. The GT 500KR said Cobra Jet instead of GT 500.
