What Shelby announced
In an October 13 announcement, Shelby American says a blue 1968 GT500KR convertible from the Segerstrom collection is on display at the Shelby Heritage Center in Las Vegas through December 15, 2026. It appears alongside a 1970 GT500 convertible. Ted Segerstrom describes the KR as the first convertible sold to the public; that is an attributed claim, not an identity finding by KR68.
Why the counter stays unchanged
The announcement does not publish a VIN. KR68 has therefore retained this as a research lead rather than creating another chassis record. A matching identifier is needed to check whether the car is already represented. The release also gives a convertible production figure that differs from the 518 used in our production note; that discrepancy remains unresolved. Consult the linked announcement and museum before planning a visit.
