For sale in our Dallas Fort Worth showroom is #356 of 1000 2008
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR. The Shelby Mustang is a high
performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby
from 1965 to 1968, and from 1969 to 1970 by Ford. Following the
introduction of the fifth generation Ford Mustang in 2005, the
Shelby nameplate was revived as a new high-performance model, this
time designed and built by Ford. The Shelby GT500KR, revealed at
the 2007 New York International Auto Show, was released in the
spring of 2008. The car is powered by a 540-horsepower 5.4-liter
(330 CID) supercharged V-8 version of the base GT500 engine with
functional Cold Air Intake and unique calibration. SVT and Shelby
announced that 1,000 40th Anniversary Editions would be built for
the U.S. in 2008, with another 571 units in 2009. This 1,571
production run matches that of the original 1968 GT500KR. In total,
1,712 units were produced, with the remaining units going to
Canada, export markets and military sales. The Shelby GT500KR
features a carbon fiber composite hood with functional scoops and
vents, twist-lock hood pins modeled on the original 1968 KR, a
unique carbon fiber splitter, carbon fiber mirror caps, and
functional brake cooling ducts. The suspension was tuned by SVT
with unique spring rates, dampers, stabilizer bars, and strut tower
brace and was sourced from Ford Racing. Unique Goodyear Eagle F1
Supercar tires were developed for the KR with a unique compound.
With the same tread pattern as the Eagle F1 Supercar tire on the
2007-2009 GT500 they can only be identified by a unique Goodyear
"Wingedfoot" emblem on the sidewall. This beautiful blue beast of a
car has only 11,666 original miles on her. With the numbered plague
on the dash showing #08KR0356. She has plenty of power to throw you
back in the seat, while the short throw shifter will keep all that
power on the road. With all the amenities of a new vehicle we all
love. Including: A/C, navigation, power seats, power seats, power
steering, power locks, keyless entry, ABS, traction control, and
anti-theft system. There is not a better feeling then driving a
high powered V8 with a manual transmission. Especially this highly
collectible Shelby GT500KR. To view this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby
