2008 Shelby GT500 KR - 329 original miles. As new, great for collection.

This 2008 Shelby GT500 KR came to us on trade from a large Shelby collection. It has 329 actual, riginal miles. It is perfect, s to be expected for the collector mileage. It is quote unquote in the wrapper, s all the plastic on the interior pieces is still on the car, nd the books and key fobs have not been unwrapped either. With only 1000 of these made, his is a great car to add to any Shelby collection.Below is the info on the KR model, redits to Car and Driver magazine:In 1967, he New York auto show played host to the launch of the original GT500KR, 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 underhood wearing a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack (revised ignition timing and throttle calibration, lus a cold-air intake), he 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 (stock is 3.31:1) for quicker giddyap, hile snorts and whinnies get an extra edge from a revised exhaust system.The King knows that some of its subjects wind and dip, o the GT500KR gets a unique Ford Racing suspension tune. "The production Shelby GT500 was maximized to deliver the perfect balance between ride and handling," says Jamal Hameedi, hief nameplate engineer, ord SVT. "In that same ride-versus-handling continuum, he KR will lean heavier toward all-out handling while still making it drivable on the street."Beyond the yawning hood vents and racing stripes already in place on lesser GT500s, he GT500KR gets the signature hood, eminiscent of the original KR, n 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. The stick-through pins on the Shelby GT we tested recently actually vibrated out of their posts on rough roads. The Cobra badges in the grille and on the fenders add wings proclaiming them as the badges of not just any Shelby Mustang but the 40th-anniversary GT500KR. Rocker stripes on the Shelby mimic those on the original car, ight down to the typeface used for the lettering.The Triton engine uses four valves per cylinder (versus three in the iron-block truck version) and the cylinder heads from the Ford GT, hich has an aluminum block.
