This 1968 Shelby Convertible eluded Michael Hudock for years, but eventually his patience paid off. (http://www.mustangmonthly.com/featuredvehicles/mump_1209_1968_shelby_convertible_mustang_gt_500kr _camouflaged/)As the owner of a red '68 Shelby G.T. 500KR, Michael Hudock heard stories about a green KR convertible in a field in East Liverpool. Ohio. Michael didn't have a name or an exact location, but he just lived 25 miles away in Canfield. So the Shelby enthusiast "did a lot of searching, traveling streets, and knocking on doors." Years passed and still the car eluded him. Yet Michael continued to hear about the KR. Perhaps the Shelby was folklore or had been in a nearby field at one time but was now gone. Then Michael got a call from someone who was looking at a KR convertible in East Liverpool and wanted to know Michael's opinion of value. Could this be the elusive KR?The caller, who Michael calls "Frank," was looking to turn a profit, not restore, so he was not about to divulge the address or the owner's name. Michael told Frank what he thought the car was worth and what he would be willing to pay. The two could not come to an agreement due to the finder's fee. However, Michael did get one piece of useful information--the VIN. Using it, he found the original owner's name in the Shelby American Automobile Club's World Registry. The original owner was a Ronhausen from East Liverpool, Ohio.
