Description
Pour a fresh cup of garage fuel and lock eyes with the ultimate intersection of Carroll Shelby’s racing pedigree and Dearborn’s absolute best muscle car design. This mug features high-impact, wrap-around graphics sourced directly from the original pages of the 1968 Shelby Mustang Sales Brochure, preserving the high-velocity dealer marketing materials, fiberglass body modifications, and engineering parameters that defined the legendary fastback stable. 1968 marked a massive design and production transition for the Shelby line: production shifted under Ford’s direct control to the A.O. Smith Company in Michigan, giving birth to a heavily redesigned, menacing look that featured a custom elongated fiberglass nose, functional dual hood scoops, and sequential Thunderbird rear tail lamps that instantly created a street legend.
The detailed wrap-around catalog layout maps out the precise mechanical fields and promotional artwork that muscle car historians study cover-to-cover. True to your standard of deep technical literacy, the graphic documents the dual pillars of Shelby dominance offered in the ’68 order guide:
- The Shelby GT350: Highlighting the high-winding, high-output 302 cubic-inch small-block V8 engine equipped with an aluminum intake manifold and an optional Paxton supercharger matrix.
- The Shelby GT500: Tracking the asphalt-shredding brute force of the 428 cubic-inch big-block engine (and the groundwork for the legendary Cobra Jet mid-year updates) designed to deliver tire-smoking street torque right out of the showroom box.
Complete with period-correct vintage typography, original factory option columns, standard integrated roll bar callouts, and authentic Shelby Cobra snake emblem graphics, this mug lets you look at original factory performance layouts with every single pour. It is a mandatory addition to the tool bench or desk of any serious Blue Oval fan, Carroll Shelby historian, or classic Mustang restorer.
