With a growing demand for cars bearing the Shelby namesake, Ford
assumed an increased role in the design, development, production
and marketing of Shelby Mustangs. The result was a more refined
high-performance muscle car, which led to a one-year-only version
of the Shelby Mustang, the GT500KR, with KR standing for "King of
the Road." Production was limited to 1,053 cars. This King of the
Road GT500 is well-documented and finished in Highland Green with a
black interior. Power comes from a date-correct 428ci Cobra Jet
engine and a 4-speed transmission. Equipped with power steering,
power brakes, AM radio and Shelby 10-spoke wheels, this Shelby
GT500KR was restored in 2007 by nationally known Shelby restorer
Jim Cowles. From the Mile-High Collection.
