The name "King of the Road" is one of the most legendary titles in
Shelby history, and in 2008 Ford and Shelby revived it to celebrate
the 40th anniversary of the original 1968 GT500KR. What they built
was more than just a Mustang- it was a limited-production,
factory-engineered performance icon destined for collectors from
the very beginning. This stunning example, finished in brilliant
Silver Metallic with bold Vista Blue racing stripes over a black
leather interior, has covered only 921 miles from new and remains
in as-new condition throughout. It is one of just 1,000 examples
produced for the 2008 model year, each hand-finished at Shelby
Automobiles in Las Vegas, Nevada. Power comes from the supercharged
5.4L SVT V-8, specially tuned by Ford Racing to produce 540
horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, backed by a Tremec 6-speed
manual transmission. Unique to the KR package is a carbon-fiber
composite hood with functional vents, 18-inch Alcoa forged wheels,
special Shelby suspension tuning, and a host of performance
upgrades that made the KR the most powerful factory Mustang ever
built at the time of release. Inside, the driver is greeted by
leather seating with Shelby embroidery, unique aluminum trim, and a
serialized dash plaque denoting its authenticity. Every surface
remains essentially untouched thanks to the ultra-low mileage.
Carroll Shelby himself oversaw the KR program, just as he had in
1968, making this a true continuation of the Shelby legacy. When
new, the GT500KR carried a staggering $79,995 MSRP, instantly
establishing itself as a future collectible. Today, with only 921
miles, this car stands as a blue-chip Shelby investment,
representing the perfect blend of modern performance and historic
pedigree. As close to showroom fresh as you'll ever find. Rare.
