Vehicle Description
Thanks to innovative fans and creative designers, our cars continue
to become more sophisticated, more polished and more refined. One
of those fans, a Texan by the name of Carroll Shelby, spent most of
his life building a well-deserved reputation for serious
performance and record setting speed. And even at the fiery age of
89, he was STILL inspiring enthusiasts to push their creations to
the point of borderline unbelievable. It seems only fitting that
Ford and Shelby American would eventually renew their decades
abandoned push to dominate the performance car world. And this
one-owner GT500KR, mixing a supercharged V8 and six forward gears
with a track-tuned suspension, is a perfect example of why that
partnership is a match made in heaven. Want some cool and exclusive
muscle that you can actually drive and enjoy? This impressive,
showroom-fresh coupe is exactly what you've been waiting for!
UNTOUCHED BRILLIANCE
One of only 278 2009 GT500KRs that complements smooth Brilliant
Silver 2-stage with Vista Blue stripes, this spotless Mustang is an
unmodified time capsule that's traveled a mere 3,904 miles. Thanks
to solid shelter, and a noted aversion to rain and wintry weather,
the car's factory-fresh aesthetics would still be right at home
anchoring a dealer's showroom. Judging by appearance, those
aesthetics are 100% straight with no history of accidents or damage
of any kind. And a close look down this Ford's sculpted fuselage
reveals world-class finishing that, by far, creates one of the
nicest late-model pony cars we've ever seen!
UNMODIFIED MOD
The reborn GT500 celebrated one of the most successful partnerships
in performance car history. Take a look under this Mustang's carbon
fiber hood and you'll find a blown 'mod motor' that was heavily
influenced by Ford's first GT super car. And what's better: by
utilizing a cast iron block, aluminum heads, forged internals and
dual overhead camshafts, this rowdy torque monster makes great
power while mixing surprising efficiency with a docile nature.
Twist the key and the big V8 rumbles to life, breathing through a
Ford Racing Cold Air Kit, a Ford Racing H-pipe and throaty Ford
Racing mufflers. Goose the throttle and a Pro-Cal performance tune
engages a roots-style supercharger that creates 8 to 10 pounds of
boost. Deliver one serious jab to the go-pedal, and you'll find out
why dictionaries are starting to list the name "Carroll Shelby"
under the word "performance". Aesthetically, this Ford's spotless
bay looks assembly line-fresh, eschewing the kind flash you'd
expect from such an ostentatious muscle car for, dare we say, a bit
of a 'sleeper' vibe. But to anyone who knows anything about
performance, the big blower, pedigreed badging, machined Shelby
caps and silver "POWERED BY SVT" cam covers are all dead giveaways
that they're looking at something real special!
UNTARNISHED BRAWN
As most performance car fans already know, this Mustang's SVT-tuned
chassis is nothing short of excellent. Behind the smooth engine, a
slick-shifting Tremec TR6060 6-speed spins power to an 8.8-inch
limited-slip axle that's fitted with big, 3.73 gears. At the
corners of the car, power-assisted Brembo calipers join
power-assisted Ford calipers in squeezing big, vented rotors. Turns
come courtesy of Ford's super-efficient power rack-and-pinion
steering. Naturally, Ford's standard ABS and traction control
systems are present and accounted for. And all this first class
agility rides on forged Shelby kicks, which twist 255/45ZR18
Goodyear Eagle F1s in front of 285/40ZR18 Goodyear Eagle F1s.
UNENCUMBERED COMFORT
Inside this Ford, bolstered, Shelby-branded seats, which feature
standard power adjustment for the car's driver, ride opposite a
monochromatic, leather-wrapped steering wheel that's adorned with
convenient thumb buttons. The dash is a familiar Mustang layout,
which frames a sequential Shelby plaque and satin-trimmed
instrumentation. Below that dash, optional Shaker 1000 audio
features pioneering MP3 compatibility and a 6-disc CD changer.
Below that stereo, a clean console cages a Ford Racing short-throw
shifter that, like the aforementioned steering wheel, is detailed
in red French stitching. And naturally, all the luxuries you'd
expect in a high dollar modern car are ready and waiting, including
Cruise Control, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks and
Remote Keyless Entry.
Even without its natural exclusivity, this red-hot coupe would
satisfy virtually any performance enthusiast. With plenty of power
and nearly universal appeal, it's hard to think of a more desirable
modern pony car. Add in the Shelby name and exceptionally low
mileage, and this thoroughbred starts looking like a great
investment. Want to own a showroom-fresh copy of one of the baddest
Mustangs ever assembled? Don't miss your chance to claim this
awesome GT500KR!
