Shelby GT500KR Description
2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR – King of the Road Edition
The S197 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a very fast and extremely cool car, but the GT500KR boasts even more power from its supercharged V8 thanks to a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Kit – and only 1,712 were built to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original 1968 GT500KR. This example is finished in handsome Silver Clearcoat Metallic with blue racing stripes and touts just 6,200 miles. Benefiting from single-ownership in a warm-climate state since new, this Shelby GT500KR comes with a clean, accident-free Carfax report and represents one of the most collectible modern Mustangs ever produced.
