VERY CLEAN 1 OWNER KR W/ JUST 6,583 MILES! #979 OF 1,011 PRODUCED! STOCK & VERY WELL DOC'D! WOW!

While the Cobra may get the lion's share of attention when it comes to Carroll Shelby's creations, it behooves enthusiasts everywhere to remember that his venomous roadster was not the only ungodly powerful V-8 muscle car. The GT500KR was originally created for the 1968 model year by the godfather of Ford performance to prove that his collaboration with the Blue Oval could produce a true top-tier performance car for the street. Fast forward forty years, and we come to this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR. With just 6,583 miles on its odometer, this car was purchased new in 2010 and looks almost as good as the day it rolled off the assembly line.

Inside, we find a near-mint black leather interior that sports an SVT gauge cluster, Ford Racing short-throw shifter, power windows, mirrors, locks, and seats. A Shaker 1000 sound system features ten Audiophile speakers, four subwoofers, a six-disc in-dash CD changer, MP3 capability, and satellite radio connectivity, provides almost as much excitement as the serialized and signed Shelby dash plaque commemorating this car's rare existence.

Under the hood, this special edition GT500 proves why it is truly the King of the Road. A hand-built supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 that has been upgraded with Ford Racing's Power Pack, providing upgraded calibrations for air, fuel, and ignition, model-specific X-pipe and dual exhaust, as well as a cold-air intake designed to make the most of the KR's dual-nostril scooped hood. Pumping out a massive 540 horsepower at 6,250 RPM and 510 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm, the KR puts down 40 more ponies than the base GT500. That ginormous power is then funneled through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission before heading out to the 3.73:1-geared ten-bolt rear end. From there, a set of 18-inch ten-spoke wheels shod in this car's original Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires measuring 285/40R-18 in back, while narrower 255/45R-18 units handle steering responsibilities upfront.
