Jerry Titus  at Watkins Glen in 1968

Built by Kar Kraft (suspension) and Shelby Racing Company.  
This is one of the new built 68 cars from San Jose. Actually 4 were built that day on December 27th, but just 3 converted for SA Team Racing. It carried a 8R01J118XXX VIN.

1968 Group 2 Shelby built cars are differentiated by:
- Larger discs up front and 10" rear discs with Kelsey-Hayes calipers. 
- 9" floater hub assembly and Watts linkage with cross-member, rear anti-swaybar plus override trailing arms.
- Larger flares (wheelhouses) due to tire regulation changes
- Tunnel Port 302 engines
- High-rise alloy intake manifold with 2 four-barrel carbs


Car #3 replaced car #1 after 6 races according to the SAAC-registry.

Painted yellow for first race in Meadowdale (T/A race #7), and driven by Jerry Titus to place 11th.

Then painted blue for St. Jovite/Mt. Tremblant (TA race #8 on July 21st, 1968)  to place 14.

Thanks to Michael Scott, who was there in his youth, we received a number of new pictures as of May 2021.






Obviously it got slightly damaged at the drivers side front fender area.

Driven at Bryar to place 10.
