Shelby : GT500 KR GT500 KR 2009 shelby mustang gt 500 kr 3 k mi shaker 1000

$79,000

Phoenix, Arizona

2009 GT500KRAll Shelbys are rare, but 09KR009 has perhaps the most unique of ANY of the '08-'09 GT500KRs - this is due to its ownership history and the condition of the car. Furnished to serious inquiries, the story of how this car came to be built and delivered makes 09KR009 - the 9th car produced in 2009 - the late-model Shelby equivalent to finding a unicorn in a haystack. The next owner of this car will be part of a story that involves Ford Motor Company executives, promises made, promises broken, amends made, and a once-in-a-lifetime meeting with a tall Texan wearing a black hat.There were only 712 GT500KRs built in 2009. That's 299 less than the 1011 of the 2008 models that were eventually produced. When you do the same math for just the USA models (i.e., excluding Canadian models), there's approxamitely 500 fewer 2009 models than 2008's. With approximately a scant 500 cars produced for the USA, the 2009 model is actually twice as rare as a 2008 model.Shelby 09KR009 is now for sale by the original owner. This stunning example was purchased through Sanderson Ford in Phoenix, AZ but delivered to Shelby American in Las Vegas, NV. It was specially ordered per the owner's specifications, including taking delivery from Carrol Shelby himself. During the delivery process, Shelby autographed the glove box/airbag cover. As anyone who has gotten an autograph from Shelby knows, he charges a donation to his charity EVERY time, but also would give a certificate of authenticity, which I have. Signed just 3 years prior to his passing, the shaky hand of an old legend is shown in the autograph's script. There ain't no more like this.It is fully equipped with every single available option. Powered by the proven 5.4 Liter DOHC supercharged V8 producing 540hp with a 6-speed short-throw transmission, carbon composite hood (a nearly $20,000 part new), 20" Alcoa aluminum KR-specific wheels, and a 3.73 rear axle. Shaker 1000 6-disc CD w/Sirius and Aux Input stereo was the only other option available, which of course this car has.Both the Cobra logo and the KR-specific badging is found throughout the vehicle, including the grille, dash, fenders, steering wheel, seats and headrests, tail, and on the engine in several places. All fluid reservoirs have special OE billet KR-specific caps as well. Drastically different - and more expensive - than the GT500 of the same years, the KR is a beast whose full impact is brutal and ferocious, giving nothing away to the 6 years that have passed since it was produced.All Shelbys are special; this amazing example comes with the pre-sale email correspondence between the owner and Ford Motor Company representatives - a candid and truly unique record of this amazing car's history! This is an opportunity to own a piece of real Shelby history with an incredibly unique story. MSRP cost over $81,485.The combination of a powerful engine, chassis and visual presence makes the Shelby GT500KR a true collectible. This particular Shelby GT500KR has less than 3500 original miles. Comes with original window sticker, owner's manual, and every single shred of paper and other materials that came with the car when delivered, right down to the glove box tag. Previous registrations and other various documents are included as well - I don't have photos of them because they contain my personal info. Also, I have the unopened box of the brake duct kit that came with the car. This car has been professionally photographed at a cost in excess of $1500, and the photographer can still be contacted for the production of future prints. This is literally the most interesting, unique, and correct late-model GT500KR in existence.Auction sales in recent years have exceeded $80,000 for cars in similar or slightly worse condition that don't have the history that this car has. After auction commissions and sales tax, professional car collectors were willing to pay nearly $100,000 for cars that are not quite at this car's level. My car is either nicer and more rare than these, but if you want to research this exact car, go to the Barrett-Jackson website and search for the following run numbers from previous auctions (and remember the numbers given there are *before) buyer and seller commissions and taxes):132696162614183810162615137974I'm hoping to sell it now and don't want to wait for the frenzy of the auction season. If it fails to sell, I will re-list the car during the auction activity, when the big cash buyers come to town looking for a prize. This car will surely stand out. Now is the time to purchase a car like this for a fair, non-inflated price. Also, the plate seen in the pic (indicating that this is the 9th car made in '09) will of course go with the car.Much Thanks for your interest and time to read this listing!!AZ Residents add 7.3% tax.

Los Angeles, California

100% Private Owner Consignment·Call 847-838-3749 or Email [email protected] 1968 shelby GT500KR Convertible, Black over Black, Concours Triple Crown Winner 1968 Shelby GT500KR #02524? is the American Pharoah of the automotive world. This thoroughbred is finished in stunning Raven Black over Black, one of only 6% of total KR Convertible production or 33 cars. Add to that the quality of her restoration, not just concours gold winning, but one of only a handful that have earned the Shelby Concours Triple Crown: • 2012 Mustang Club of America, Providence, Rhode Island National Show, Concours Trailered Gold Award • 2012 Shelby American Automobile Club, Watkins Glen, New York, Concours Gold-Div 2 • 2012 Team Shelby, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Heritage Gold Award - Concours Heritage Class The quality of her condidition compliments her pedigree." # 2524 is one of the finest examples of a restored Shelby anywhere. You will be hard pressed to find a more historically accurate car anywhere. If you ever wanted to experience what a new 1968 Shelby was like, this is a rare opportunity to own the very best. That's not my opinion, but rather the opinion of the most knowledgeable Shelby people in the world." -Peter Disher, aka the Coralsnake and SAAC Concours Judge In 2012, 2524 underwent a full rotisserie restoration by Tim Lea, one of the most well regarded restorers within the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) community. The 428 Cobra Jet big-block V-8 engine, dated 8B5 (or February 5, 1968) a few months before the build date of the car, and VIN stamped C-6 automatic transmission were completely rebuilt to original factory specifications. She has been driven approximately 3,100 miles since 2012, mostly to local shows and events in the Los Angeles area. In addition, #2524 was featured in a recent Ford family wedding. Retired from competition, occasional driving does results in slight patina, primarily within the engine bay and undercarriage. Minor wear to plated and bare metal components is to be expected and is regularly detailed to maintain the factory finish. She is a 1968 Shelby GT500KR, a concours Triple Crown winning "King of the Road."Rare - one of 518 GT500KR's produced and only one of a dozen to win the Concours Triple Crown.Desirable - Raven Black over Black Décor interior, offset by a white power convertible top and white rocker panel stripes. She certainly stirs the soul.Excellence - either in restoration detail or quality of preservation.Provenance - a vehicle's history and pedigree within the enthusiast community. A car possessing any three of these traits would be a solid addition to a private collection, having all four makes this Shelby a must have for any serious collector.Call 847-838-3749 or Email [email protected] for more information! Exterior Description Raven Black body works shines like an obsidian mirror. All body gaps and body panel alignment are better than the factory could do in 1968. All the fiberglass work is also original to the car. FIt and finish of the paint and body is superior to most any other example currently available on the market. You will notice that the car is photographed with both vintage Good Year polyglas tires and modern radials. The car can be fitted with one or the other at the buyer's option as a condition of sale. Interior Description The interior is in absolute factory OE condition. ?Restored to concours specifications, her interior trim looks and feels new. Hard to find wear items such as the steering wheel and shifter handle are likewise restored to showroom condition. She was factory ordered new with White Power Convertible Top with Glass Blacklight, GT Equipment Group, Visibility Group, Power Steering, Power Front Disc Brakes, Tilt-away Steering Column, AM Radio, Interior Decor Group, Tachometer and Trip Odometer. Every acccessory works. Engine Bay Description Engine bay also presents as factory equipped. She is driven occassionally, so it is natural to see a mild patina soften the plated and bare metal finishes. During a recent concours detailing, all these surfaces were cleaned and any factory labels that displayed wear, such as the DR sticker on the shock tower, were replaced with fresh ones. When you are looking for a fine collectible, it isn't just how recent the restoration it is, it is how quality of the work done and how well maintained the vehicle is once it is completed. This one offers the best in workmanship and OE detail, with an owner who knows how to keep it in near showroom condition. Chassis Description Retired from "Concours Trailer Queen" competition, she been driven approximately 3,100 miles since 2012, mostly to local shows and events in the Los Angeles area. Occasional driving does result in minor wear and tear, primarily within the engine bay and undercarriage as you might expect. But meticulous detailing after each outing and a deep detail at the end driving season has allowed this Shelby KR to enjoy the exhilaration of the open road, while maintaining her concours pedigree. The current owner has just recently performed a concours detail, cleaning all plated and bare metal parts to preserve their factory finish. Genuinely rare, eminently beautiful, concours correct, and a Shelby you can drive- Owning this GT500KR will certainly grant you the title, King of the Road.

Shelby : 2009 Ford Shelby GT500 KR GT500KR 2009 ford shelby gt 500 kr king of the road limited edition mustang

$47,500

Mesa, Arizona

0 0 1 1123 6407 DMM 53 15 7515 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE This 2009 Ford Shelby GT500 KR "King of The Road" limited edition Mustang. The Shelby GT500 KR Mustang will feature a 540 horsepower 5.4L supercharged V8 with Ford Racing Power Pack upgrade, 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, short throw shifter and a beefed up suspension. The exterior of this beast will get a unique Carbon composite hood, 18-inch wheels and Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the original Shelby Cobra GT500KR, Ford and Shelby collaborate on a new 'King of the Road' Mustang with the 2008-09 Shelby GT500KR. Shelby GT500KR features an estimated 540-hp 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack, 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, short-throw shifter, and unique suspension tuning. Exterior design draws inspiration from the classic Shelby KR Mustangs and features unique carbon composite hood, wheels, and special 40th Anniversary badging and unique striping. Shelby GT500KR arrives in spring 2009 in an exclusive run of only 500 units Crowning the New "King of the Road" Doug Gaffka, Ford SVT chief designer, and his team worked closely with Carroll Shelby and the Shelby team to make certain the new KR was crafted in the spirit of the original Shelby muscle car. "This was a great effort between Ford and Shelby Automobiles," said Gaffka. "The Shelby team and I were in constant contact melding Carroll's classic design cues with some modern concepts and ideas and finessing them into the design of the new KR." Gary Davis, vice president of production and product development for Shelby Automobiles, played a key role in defining the look of the custom designed carbon composite hood for the GT500KR. His knowledge of the original GT500KR helped sculpt a modern interpretation of the original's bulging hood scoop, a visual indication of the extra horsepower packed beneath it. The hood is secured by a pair of stainless steel, twist-down hood pins. The composite front valance houses a pair of chrome-trimmed, functional brake ducts to cool the large 14-inch, vented Brembo front brakes. Side stripes are true to the original KR right down to the font used for the 'GT500KR' lettering, while the classic LeMans-style striping that races down the center of the car has been deleted between the leading forward edge of the hood scoops and the front of the hood, accenting the scoops and giving the KR its distinctive face. "That was Shelby's idea," said Gaffka. "It's a special touch that adds some down-the-road differentiation. There will be no doubt that it's a 'King of the Road' Mustang that's filling up your rearview mirrors." The show car wears exclusive, Shelby-designed 20-inch, forged, polished aluminum wheels with special custom center caps, mounted on Pirelli rubber. Production models will arrive with an 18-inch version of the design. Each KR has new badges on the fenders and grille, distinctive body colored mirror caps and Shelby lettering stretching across the front of the hood and along the rear portion of the deck lid. A special Shelby VIN tag is affixed to each vehicle, mounted in the engine compartment. The all-leather interior features Carroll Shelby signature embroidered headrests and an official Shelby CSM 40th Anniversary GT500KR dash plate mounted at the top of the center stack. The KR's 5.4-liter V-8 Gets the Royal Treatment Just like its namesake, the 2008-09 'King of the Road' packs a walloping dose of Ford performance power under its massive composite hood scoops. The Ford SVT-engineered 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 is treated to a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack that boosts horsepower to an estimated 540 and torque to 510 ft.-lbs., thanks to revised ignition and throttle calibration and a cold air intake system that replaces the stock unit. Calibration modifications include advancing the ignition timing as well as re-mapping of the electronic throttle settings to provide quicker throttle response for better off-line and mid-range acceleration. Increased throttle response will be met with a sharper roar from the Ford Racing-inspired exhaust system. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission and 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, upgraded from the standard GT500's 3.31:1. Gear selection is courtesy of an all-new Ford Racing short-throw shifter making its debut on the KR. Topped with a white ball, the new shifter is 25 percent shorter than the unit on the GT500 providing for crisper, sharper shifts. Ford SVT, Ford Racing and Team Shelby worked together to develop the KR's suspension tuning. Based on initial work by Ford Racing and the team at Shelby, often at Shelby's own facility on the grounds of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Ford SVT chassis engineers will apply fine tuning techniques to prepare it for the streets. "The production Shelby GT500 was maximized to deliver the perfect balance between ride and handling," said Jamal Hameedi, chief nameplate engineer, Ford SVT. "In that same ride versus handling continuum, the KR will lean heavier towards all-out handling while still making it drivable on the street." Chassis engineers worked closely with the engine department in a holistic approach to the development of the KR, tuning the suspension to best optimize the engine enhancements. "We aren't fixing our attention on one or two attributes, but working on the vehicle as a whole," stated Gary Patterson, vice president of operations for Shelby Automobiles. "The throttle response, power delivery, exhaust note, and handling should all gel together to deliver a total driving experience." The GT500KR will feature unique spring rates, dampers, stabilizer bars, and strut tower brace, all designed specifically for the KR, to deliver the precision handling package. Mustang Momentum Cannot be Stopped Unwilling to wait for the impending pony car war to heat up, Ford is extending Mustang's leadership position by feeding the enthusiast demand for more models, features, performance parts, and special editions. Ford has committed to at least one new Mustang 'feature' vehicle per year. For 2007, it is the Shelby GT, and for 2008, there will be at least two including the Shelby GT500KR and the previously announced Mustang Bullitt.

Shelby : GT-500KR 40th Anniversary 2008 shelby gt 500 kr 40 th anniversary

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

2008 Shelby GT500KR   If you’d ever wanted to step back in time & buy your favorite modern Muscle Car you may have just missed a few years back & now can afford…this may be yours today. We’ve just acquired from its 1st & only owner, Michael Hagley of Sanford, Florida who bought this on September 5th, 2008 from Magarino Ford Lincoln Mercury located in Sussex, New Jersey, for investmentsake only. Mike was a collector of special ordered Muscle Cars made in limited numbers. Let’s reminisce…in New York, Shelby launches the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR, a special-edition GT500 commemorating the 40th anniversary of the original “King of the Road.” The GT500KR is the second product after the GT500 to wear the almost-defunct SVT badge, reminding us that Ford still claims it has a performance division. In 1967, the New York auto show played host to the launch of the original GT500KR, a version of the Shelby Mustang powered by a 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet V-8 rated at 335 horsepower. With the ’08 model’s supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 under hood wearing a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack, the 2008 KR outdoes its predecessor by 205 horsepower—a margin greater than the entire output of some V-8 Mustangs of the 1980s—with 540. That herd travels rearward through a six-speed manual with a short-throw shifter to a shorter 3.73:1 rear end. Beyond the yawning hood vents and racing stripes already in place on lesser GT500s, the GT500KR gets the signature hood, reminiscent of the original KR, in carbon fiber with two forward-looking mail slots at the leading edge of the hood feeding the blown 5.4’s appetite for air and twist-down hood pins for a more secure racer flair. Now when these KR’s were sold, dealers got big profits well over the MSRP sticker price. In fact Mr.Hagley paid $100,000.+ taxes for this beauty. This particular KR was bought new & stashed from new still retaining the original window stickers on the right side passenger window & Shelby’s own added on sticker on the front window depicting a list price total of $81,475. Its Silver Clearcoat Metallic paintwork are offset by its full Black Leather seat interior accented by Bright Blue GT-500KR striping. It is # 108 of 1000 made in total. The KR is absolutely dead BRAND NEW & includes every stitch of paperwork from new including 2 bills of sale, copy of the original MSO, all books & delivery stuff that is way to much to even mention. The best part of this KR is it has a mere 20 miles on the odometer from new & it is going to be one of the best investments one can make on a post-2000 special edition Muscle Car.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own the best KR on Earth that’s just loaded to the gills & in time warp condition.

1968 Shelby GT-500-KR Convertible428 Cobra Jet - Factory AirMatt Garrett - Dallas Texas - 214-878-3823 Click here for My Car Hobby Home Page1968 Shelby GT500-KR1968 Shelby GT500-KR Convertible, Shelby 3854 - FACTORY AC, 428 cu. in. Cobra-Jet V-8 engine, C6 auto, 3:00 Trac-Lok 9" Diff. Built June 26th, 1968 this Shelby is a substantial, rare and very documented car in many publications going back to the 80s as it sits exactly today. Original miles, original body and interior, Numbers match everywhere. This car received a comprehensive refinish done in the 80s by its 2nd owner, Chuck Brown in CA documented not only in photos, but many publications of that era.. This was never a left for dead or done for profit car. It was not a torn up neglected car or just a VIN used to cash in. This is not a "just restored car" It was, always was and still is a very nice mid #1 level example that has been loved all of its life. I wont quote production #s on KR Convertibles as that is redundant if you know these cars, but of course will mention the fact that Factory AC on and GT500KR is a needle in the haystack and really is what puts this car over the top as a rare collector. In the 80s when 2nd owner Chuck Brown decided to take this car up a notch, he was not thinking of how Marti and all of the other things people base these cars this minute on were going to play out about 30 years later. He was thinking of quality vs just a surface face that will pass muster at a now common auction. The very comprehensive refinish is now over 30 years old. Looking as good as it does today is rare to see on a car refreshed so many years ago. Again, this is not a restoration... Of course those terms 'patina" and "settling in nicely' coined by those auctions do come to play, but the car is really exceptional and shows better now as it did when all of these magazines had it featured. Every number and code are matching, original and authentic on this car as inspected by noted appraisers and Kevin Marti... Then later in its life, Carol himself. The 3rd Owner was Carol's friend/neighbor here in Texas. Carol was instrumental in finding/recommending this car for Mr Wise, a very wealthy entrepreneur that had a money no object stance with anything he did. Ironically the car was never "signed" by Carol as it was not deemed necessary in that circle. Many years prior to Carol's death, the 3rd owner of this car, Mr. Wise, passed away leaving this car to sit well protected for over another decade. Now what is is not correct on this car is the color or the fact the wheel centers are outlined in red. It is a Code R Highland Green car. In the 80s, Chuck Brown took the attitude that I agree with, "they are only original once' and this car cannot ever make that claim again even if the only thing done was paint a fender.. In this world of originality it does get that ridiculous, but I dont make the rules. Chuck elected to take what is considered by many as not a great color and changed it correctly as any color change ever done to Red. Purists may poopoo that to death that have not yet completed their restoration that may or may not ever get done, but it is what it is and the car is WAY too nice to go and color change to match the tag up and take away much of its noted attraction and history that it has under its belt. The car has been red for way longer than it has been green! The outlined red wheels are as you see in the 80s publications. I leave them that way as the documentation trail stays in tact. Think of this.... It was never in a magazine or won shows as a green car... so take it for what you will. This car received tip marks at SAAC in 1988 exactly as you see it now with no refreshment. It is also said to have been at SAAC 3 and 9 but I have not seen any photos of it there. Hoping someone may have one that turns up. This is a CA car, so it went to many of the SAAC early events. This is one of the nicest and highest integrity 60s cars I have seen, owned or been associated with to date. Far from a muscle car dealer slap together and not far off from the best day one original that has survived as best as all the love in the world could give it.More below after photos.For sale to the collector that wants a car that can show/drive that comes with authentication, history, prevalence and more. Interesting trades considered up or down. Prefer GM muscle with big engine option, AC and convertible. Apples to apples in other words. Just run it by me and see if something works out. My collection is a working collection, I trade, buy or sell with similar collectors world wide when the opportunity is right.

Real miles, non restored dash, cluster, etc.I cannot say if this is the actual original windshield, but it shows a level of patina that indicates it is. All stamps are correct and it shows original. All door glass is original. As seen in 1989 magazine Good Points Mid Level 1 Show Car - It will be the King of most any show it enters History!!! - As you see this car has been its condition all the way back to the early 80s and is CA car noted and documentedDocumentation - In many magazines in the 80s and 90s at a time that most were left for deadAttended all early SAAC events in CAOriginality - Despite being a partial restoration, much originality is in this car. Storage - Never a left for dead car, always nice since new!Ownership - Never out of responsible hands. Most of these cars are pieced together, this one is not.Done for love - Never Profit - Done at a time when depth and quality were more important that purism and on surface cosmeticsIntegrity - Beyond what you can see at auctions... Would be hard pressed to find one that is this sorted (as it has not been torn apart to need sorting), fully functional and simply runs and drives like a near new car with the AC on.A star attraction at MANY MANY SW united states car shows for the past many years. So much it has just become a display car vs a judged car. Thank you for visiting; Click here for My Car Hobby Home PageYou can email me at [email protected]
