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.

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. Ford's 'Steed for Every Need' strategy currently offers four horsepower options for Mustang, with pricing from $19,995 for a 240-hp V-6 Mustang coupe to $46,500 for a 500-hp Shelby GT500 convertible. Ford has also introduced several special packages on Mustang further increasing its unique offerings, including the Pony Package and the California Special. In addition, Ford Racing offers a complete catalog of performance parts for Mustang fans, from custom wheels and exhausts to the complete, turn-key Ford Racing Mustang FR500C race car. As a result, Ford offers Mustang enthusiasts the ability to buy, modify and drive the steed that perfectly fits their need. 2008-09 Ford Shelby GT500KR – Specifications and Design Highlights 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 producing an estimated 540-horsepower and 510 ft.-lbs. of torque Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack featuring revised calibration and cold air intake system 6-speed manual transmission with 3.73:1 rear axle ratio Ford Racing performance exhaust system
