Vehicle Description
You're looking at a full midnight package of a fantastic midnight
stalker. This 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR has such low
mileage that the slick black presentation is still showroom fresh,
and the 540hp supercharged V8 still has its factory tags.
The factory-applied slick black paint on this snake-bitten Mustang
is in such great condition that you know it has lived a pampered,
garage-kept life. And one look at this coupe, and you know it was
ordered correctly. After all, there's nothing cooler than watching
the sunlight roll across this body to reveal the matte black LeMans
top stripes and coordinating rocker stripes. These special edition
KRs celebrate the original ones, and so Shelby only produced as
many as they did four decades earlier. That means this one (#0064)
has been certified as 1 of 712 made in '09 and only 1 of 236 in
this stellar black. And these special edition KRs really live up to
the King of the Road namesake with the correct wide dual hood
intake that helps make this Shelby look like it will inhale all the
cars ahead of it. And there are other great dark side enhancements
like the carbon fiber front splitter, special rear spoiler, and
rear air diffuser that frames the large dual exhaust tips. Plus,
the full midnight packaging on this special coupe means the bright
Shelby emblems and special polished 18-inch forged aluminum wheels
are instant standouts.
When you open the door, you realize just how much care went to this
ultra-low mileage car when you see that much of the carpeting still
has its factory wrap still on it! So this one looks, smells, and
feels factory fresh. And that's what you want, because the deep and
dark interior completes this full black-out package. Just like a
proper Shelby the leather seats have the trademark snake embossed
in them. And as a special treat just to KRs, the headrests
commemorate this special edition and add Carroll Shelby's
signature. This coupe comes loaded with all the best features,
including air conditioning, power windows, power locks, leather
wrapped steering wheel, keyless entry, and cruise control. The
radio is an upgraded AM/FM/CD/XM unit with a full display for
Bluetooth and DVD-based navigation. But the best interior feature
is absolutely the Carroll Shelby signed dash plate that is specific
to this car's serial number. It's a piece to cherish for a
lifetime.
As much as we all love the interior and exterior upgrades, it's
what's under the hood that keeps us all salivating. This is the
original supercharged DOHC 5.4-liter V8. And because these KRs were
finished at Shelby's facility in Las Vegas, they received special
programming and a cold air induction to take the stock GT500
horsepower from 500 to 540. There was also a rumbling performance
H-pipe exhaust added, too. Ford's six-speed manual transmission is
the perfect pairing to this motor so you can always keep in the
optimal powerband, and Shelby even added their short throw shifter.
And more than just pure power, it lives up to the King of the Road
name with the suspension package that includes tuned springs,
dampers, and stabilizer bars front & rear. Add in Brembo four-wheel
disc brakes, ABS, and Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, and you know this
Shelby offers the full modern performance package you demand.
The entire history of this car is easily traced thanks to a
complete line of documents like the dealer invoice, bill of sale,
owner's manual, and original window stickers from both Ford and
Shelby. All of this paperwork is fun to review now, and it will be
exceptionally useful as this GT500 KR keeps appreciating into a
true classic. But even with all of its history in line, this
snake-bitten Mustang is so much fun that we know you'll add a few
miles to the ultra-low odometer. But the only way to enjoy this
pristine classic tomorrow is if you call today!
