Taking your standard GT500 up a notch, the GT500 KR ("King of the Road") introduced Ford's NASCAR-derived 428 Cobra Jet V8 to the Mustang shell. Featuring 427 heads and a beefier crank, rods, and pistons, the "CJ" rated at a suspiciously low 335bhp, likely to appease the insurance companies. In reality, it produced in excess of 400bhp and a Goodyear melting 440ft-lbs of torque. ⁠ ⁠ In 1968 Shelby and Ford produced just 1,251 GT500 KRs, and of those, a mere 318 were convertibles. This stunning Lime Gold GT500 KR is a fantastic restored example of one of the most revered and collectible of all the big-muscle Mustangs and will be joining us at #TheScottsdaleAuction.⁠ ⁠ REGISTER TO BID⁠ The Scottsdale Auction | January 25, 2024 | Scottsdale, AZ⁠ ⁠ #collectorcars #classiccars #fordmustang #shelbygt500kr #shelbygt500 #bonhamscars
