The Shelby GT500KR, or "King of the Road," is a nameplate steeped in Mustang legend, first appearing in 1968 as a special edition designed to dominate both street and strip. Built by Shelby American, the original KR replaced the already potent GT500's 428 Cobra Jet engine, making it one of the most powerful production Mustangs of its era. Forty years later, in 2008, Ford and Shelby revived the iconic moniker to celebrate this heritage, creating a modern interpretation that paid homage to its predecessor while delivering contemporary performance. Limited to just 1,000 units, the 2008 GT500KR was an instant collector's item, representing the pinnacle of Shelby Mustang engineering for its generation. This particular 2008 Shelby GT500KR is a remarkable example, bearing CSM number 08KR0682, confirming its status as the 682nd of the limited 1,000-unit production run. With a mere 4,200 miles on its odometer, this "King of the Road" presents in exceptional condition, a testament to its careful preservation. Under the hood lies the potent 5.4L supercharged V8 engine, factory-rated at a robust 540 horsepower, paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission for an immersive driving experience. Its striking silver exterior is accented by the iconic Over-The-Top Blue racing stripes with premium trim, perfectly complementing the black leather interior. This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a low-mileage piece of modern Shelby history.
