2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR

Description

Pulling every last ounce of power and coolness from the pony car, this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR was the ultimate supercar from one of the greatest American racing legends. That history is why this supercharged 540 hp machine is so well preserved, including terrific paperwork and nearly impossibly low mileage.

An odometer this low is not only accurate, but it also instantly tells you this one-owner car has always been treated with respect. That's why the Ebony Black paint still has an awesome showroom level shine. It gives this super coupe a true aggressive look that you're going to love. In fact, they even did in satin ebony, so that you get a package that's mean-as-midnight while still having the classic Shelby race-ready look. This coupe was created as part of the 40th anniversary of the original King of the Road (KR) Mustang. There were only 1,011 examples created in 2008, and of those, only 328 had this color theme. The limited edition production numbers of this one was based on those originals, and we all know what kind of money those command today. And more than just an instant-classic, this is desirable for being one of the meanest ponies around. The large scoops in the carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber splitter, beefy 18-inch forged wheels, and all those snake-bitten badges really create intimidation on wheels. So to find one that has averaged less than 175 miles annually lets you know this collectable still has the new car smell.

Black paint, matte black stripe, and a black interior gives you an ultra-desirable triple-black setup. And while the look is sinister, they also didn't leave out any of the features you want in a premium machine like this. For example, you get the exceptionally comfortable power-adjusting Mustang driver's seat. Only now you have Shelby's snake embossed in the leather, and his signature is stitched into the headrest. And the rest of the interior leaves you wanting for nothing with features like air conditioning, power windows, power locks, dual airbags, side air bags, keyless entry, and cruise control. And this modern classic has the upgraded touchscreen infotainment AM/FM/CD/XM stereo with satellite navigation. Of course, what you'll really love in the center of this car is the Shelby American individually numbered plaque. It's a reminder that this was part of a true special build. And with the leather-wrapped steering wheel special short-throw shifter feeling so good in your hands, we know you'll need to add to the ultra-low odometer on this true Shelby Mustang.

When a car has been preserved this well inside and out, then you know it was made sure that the all-important engine bay was preserved to look like today is day one. True Shelby fans know the importance of having a car finished at the Shelby Las Vegas facility. That's where this the numbers-matching supercharged DOHC 5.4-liter V8 received special programming and a cold air induction. It takes the stock GT500 horsepower from 500 to 540. This has a supercar level of power, and the growl of the dual exhaust let's everyone know it. Best of all, you get to bring the power and thunder to the streets with the full control of Ford's stout six-speed manual transmission. 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 on this polished special Shelby alloys, and you know this one offers the full modern performance package you demand.

A collectable like this comes with plenty of documentation, including the original window stickers (both Ford & Shelby), owner's manual, and Shelby certificate. There's even a car cover. This Mustang is truly King of the Road. So don't let this amazingly preserved instant classic slip away. Call today!!!
