Revology Cars’ latest new models build on the company’s successful formula of combining vintage looks with modern performance, reliability, and comfort.
Revology’s 1968 Shelby GT350 2+2 and convertible models join two other 1968 models, the GT500KR 2+2 and convertible, which were launched by Revology last year.
As with other Revology models, the ’68 editions use steel unibodies, also known as ‘body shells’, which are assembled in house by Revology. “This ensures superior dimensional control and weld integrity compared to outsourced unibodies,” says Tom Scarpello, Revology’s founder and CEO. “This is critical for performance, craftsmanship, and durability.”
Scarpello explains that the new GT350 models are positioned relative to the Revology GT500KR in a similar manner to the relationship between the original Shelby GT350 and GT500KR. “The GT350 models are focused on delivering a balanced performance driving experience rather than the highest horsepower and fastest acceleration.” He says that while the Revology GT350 models are more affordable than their GT500KR counterparts, they do not lack any of the craftsmanship, refinement, or comfort and convenience features of those models—they simply have a different character.
Compared to the supercharged GT500KR models, the main difference with the GT350 versions is the latter’s use of the naturally aspirated 5.0L Ti-VCT DOHC ‘Coyote’ V8 engine, which is the latest version of this Ford engine family, known as the “Gen 4.”
“The Gen 4 is the latest iteration of what is arguably one of the best engines ever made for performance applications by any manufacturer,” says Scarpello. “In the Revology Shelby GT, it delivers outstanding acceleration, drivability, and fuel economy, along with modern reliability and durability. Plus, it makes all the right sounds, which is such a big part of the experience of driving a car like this.”
For packaging reasons, the Revology version of the Gen 4 uses a single throttle body, vs. the dual throttle body used in the 2024 Mustang GT, and a revised calibration. The company has not yet announced horsepower and torque specifications for the Gen 4 engine in this application.
Revology is now accepting orders for production start in December 2024.
The new Revology 1968 Shelby GT350 2+2 and GT350 convertible are priced at $294,000 and $301,500 respectively.
