sfm6s1675 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Am out in Vegas celebrating my wife's b-day...so naturally I swung by SAI to check it out. I know from reading this forum there's a lot of anticipation and consternation on the KRs starting up. FYI I saw maybe 20-30 GT500s just delivered and moving over to the "B" building to get cleaned up. All had no stripes, and were without rear spoilers (plugs in the holes). During the tour I mentioned this to Adrienne and she said all they're waiting on is Ford to give them the go-ahead.....so hopefully the new KR owners won't be waiting much longer.

switz Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I just dropped my car off yesterday and was told the KR production is waiting for hoods as the supplier so far has not been up to Ford's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there on Wednesday picking up my 40th. I will post some pics of that later. Here are some pics of the "bare" KRs that you were talking about.

Stephen Takach Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I received a call from a dealer today in TX that said they had taken DELIVERY of a black KR today. They asked If I would like to make an appt to come see the car. they spoke to my wife and then sent me an Email about the car. Has Shelby actually completed any of the KRs yet or is the dealer just jerking me around? I'll call them tomorrow and let everyone know if they truly have a KR on the ground.

Stephen Takach Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 i doubt it or we would have heard about it You are correct! I called the dealer today and they actually recieved a black GT500 not a KR. The Email I received actually said they had a KR on the ground. They told me the Kr was due in mid June but didn't even seem sure of that. SVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman340 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 how nice a 80,000 car sitting out in the desert sun, heat and wind driven sand storms. What you don't know is that building you see is the MAIN check in building for the KR's when they are dropped off. After they are dropped off and inspected, they are then HAND washed and moved into a storage building. I think we have 7-8 buildings in which we store the cars inside--not out side :happy feet: Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks Bud, but even if the car sat outside its not going to hurt them. If alittle sand and wind screwd the paint up that quick Ford needs to REPAINT everything. I keep my car inside like most of us on here, but sitting outside in the weather for a few days or weeks NOT going to hurt the paint. Now if they has stripes maybe the sun could screw up the Vinyl, but the paint BETTER last YEARS sitting outside. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some pics of the "bare" KRs that you were talking about. It's interesting that they go to the trouble to put the Shelby lettering on wrong, only to have to change it later, but they don't put a spoiler on, pending the KR application. Poor naked Shelbys.

Actually, that's only really about 30,000 sitting out there to get shat upon. The other 100,000 is in the vinyl "KR" letters that get glued on.

amyb Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Guys as a point of reference, none of the GT500's nor the GT500's for KR are outside, all GT500's are inside our buildings. The picture above is cars lining up to go into the production areas Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor naked Shelbys. Yeah, first thing I noticed! Must have something to do with the line and how it's set up, I suspect it's easier, and cheaper, to let them just get the standard letters than somehow try to segregate them and leave them off.
