Any true car enthusiast knows the strong ties between Ford Motor Company and Shelby American. By the 2000s, the relationship between the two legendary organizations was in its fifth decade, and continued to churn out potent performance machines. Available through any Ford dealer, a Shelby Mustang GT500 was covered by a factory warranty and presented as a thoroughly engineered, world-class sports car.
For anyone looking for something a bit more special, Ford and Shelby offered the GT500KR, which included numerous revisions to improve performance and appearance across the board. The GT500KR was built to a specific code by Ford’s plant in Romeo, Michigan before being shipped to Shelby’s facility in Las Vegas. There, the drivetrain received different tuning, exhaust, and gearing, and the suspension was re-tuned with different springs and shock absorbers. Forged Alcoa aluminum wheels were wrapped in Goodyear tires developed specifically for the KR. Carbon fiber accents included the mirrors and front splitter. Horsepower was now up to 540 from 500 in the standard GT500, and the GT500KR was said by Ford to be capable of a 12. 1-second quarter mile at 115 mph.
The magnificent Shelby GT 500 KR featured here is finished in highly desired all-black with matching leather interior this incredible car is been driven just 1959 miles and can virtually not be told from new. Fitted with nearly every available option this GT500 KR is the one to add to any premier collection. I personally believe investment potential of this American classic will grow beyond your imagination offered to the most sophisticated collector investor or enthusiast who desires the best.
