shoyoright Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Talked to one of my Ford dealers today & he said that his KR was already built & in route to SAI for the KR conversion. I was surprised to hear that. Can anyone confirm that KRs are there, that the conversions have started & how long this process will take @ SAI?.....shoyoright Edit by sharon just to add photo caption, photos on second page.

About 7 red and 6 vista blue Where is all the counter intelligence that usually exist in finding out all the secrets on the new Shelbys. We knew everything about the GT500s & the Shelby GTs. This damn KR thing is like a cloke of secrecy. We need to know what dealers got KR allocations so we can pursue our cars instead of cashing the deposits they are sending back. Where are all of the pics of the KRs arriving to SAI? What is the estimated conversion time for a KR & how soon after completion are they leaving for their prospective dealers? Somebody chime in & give us some answers.....shoyoright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means those cars have been released from the plant for shipping. So they could be sitting in MI waiting to be shipped, or enroute to SAI being shipped, or at SAI being converted, or completed at SAI and enroute to the dealer, or already in stock sitting at dealer. The colors are listed. So they could be KR's that were sold already or KR's that dealers had to order and they just picked the color and options they wanted to order if they haven't been sold yet. It appears most have not been presold since a lot of dealers seem to be advertising they have one to sell which has already been ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoyoright Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Come on superspy car guys, who's got the cameras rolling w/pics of KRs arriving @ SAI? If ShelbyDude says they are heading there some must be there already.....shoyoright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not holding my breath! I say if it was by Labor Day......I would be impressed. I heard from an unreliable source that there is some Ford hold up that they want to ship all the vehicles at one time to SAI and then when they are all completed send them out ......but as I said....unreliable. Perhaps someone else has better info????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Our KR has shipped to SAI. Im pretty sure its there, but I havent checked in the last day or so. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD SNAKE Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is the "locater" something the average Joe can get access to? I'm sure it's only for dealers but I thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Martin Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I was told by a fairly reliable source there are parts shortages and delivery of the KR cars will be later than previous delivery schedule. It always takes longer to get the initial production up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonein60autoparts Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Seems to be alot of overspray and nonpainted areas showing inside the scoop on that first pic, other than that it looks great, but still would opt for the S/S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctann Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 What's going on inside the hood scoop? It looks from the photo like it is non-functional. Perhaps its just the photo, but it looks kind of unfinished - I would have expected black-out paint in there.
