GT500_Grad Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Is it possible to check on how close it is till a KR will be made? What do you need to know? I know MM and SD are usually pretty good on knowing what has been made and shipped. There is a KR coming to Shutlz Ford in Pittsburgh in the near future, and I was wondering if it was possible to get an idea when it would be arriving or if its been made yet?

ctann Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 You can also try this link: http://vin.shelbyautos.com/? Although that doesn't give you much more to go on. I ordered a Mini about 5 weeks ago, and they had a fantastic order tracking site - it was so exciting to see my (or rather, my wife's) Mini moving through the various steps. We pick it up on Saturday! :-> But if you want a nice image to imagine - just try and picture the warehouse that has 950 GT500's packed in it gathering dust! OK, I know they are spread across several warehouses, but it looks better in my minds eye to imagine them all in one place. :-> We should ask SAI to snap a couple of pictures of them inside, to tide us future owners over...

GT500_Grad Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm tracking it down for a friend so I'm not sure. ShelbyDude told me that all 08s are at SAI and didn't know if all 09s were. I believe his is a 08, so I would have to say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08GT500KR Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I think ramp is an uncovered dusty old parking lot. NO GT500KR'S ARE SITTING IN A DUSTY UNCOVERED LOT, THEY ARE ALL WELL CARED FOR INSIDE WAITING FOR THE CONVERSION, PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING ONE OF THESE AMAZING AND VERY LIMITED BUILT CARS NEED TO RELAX, ONLY 1,000 LUCKY PEOPLE ARE GETTING THIS CAR THIS YEAR, AND 571 THE FOLLOWING YEAR. I ALSO WISH THAT MY CAR WAS DONE AND SITTING IN MY GARAGE, BUT ALL GOOD THINGS TO THOSE WHO WAIT, ONCE AGAIN, JUST A FEW YEARS AGO NONE OF US COULD HAVE EVEN IMAGINED THAT THIS CAR WOULD BE BUILT, YET TO BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO FIND AND PURCHASE ONE, IT WILL BE WELL WORTH THE WAIT. THIS IS NOT A MASS PRODUCED CAR LIKE THE Z06 OR SUCH OR SOMETHING YOU WILL SEE ON EVERY CORNER, WHEN WE TAKE DELIVERY ALL OF THIS COMPLAINING AND SECOND GUESSING WILL SEEM FUTAL. LET SAI WORK OUT THE ISSUES AND CONTINUE ENFORCING STRICT QUALITY CONTROLS ON THERE CARS, ONCE THAT IS TAKEN CARE OF I AM SURE THEY WILL BUILD THEM AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

Joe G Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING AT EVERYONE BY TYPING IN ALL CAPS????????? And I was told by a person who picked up a car there earlier that they can't all be stored inside because they don't have enough room for all 1000. Wonder if Bud or Amy will confirm or deny this for the KR owners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have rust on the car before I ever see it, and then once I finally get it, it will be in storage for the winter!! ya to go Shelby... another disappointment as usual.......... If you are that displeased with the way Shelby does business then the solution is simple, DON'T BUY THE CAR. There are many people who will be happy to wait for a car like that, Shelby has a strict build quality control enforcement, and personally, I am fine with that on an $80,000 car. If you feel you can build a car of that stature then by all means start up your own company and let's see how you are doing after oh lets say 40 years. Stop bashing, either deal with the wait or move on to another car and lets someone else have yours. I have seen and driven the GT500KR and the build quality is second to none, the fit and finish is remarkable, it handles like it is on rails, the exhaust sound is loud and addicting, the best note that I have heard on a car in years. As for the power and performance, it is everything that a true Shelby built car should be, outstanding acceleration throughout the entire powerband, terrific low end torque, amazing stabilty at all speeds, these tires hook up like they have a glue resin on them, very sticky, they are outstanding. This is not like the old days when they were just fast in a straight line, this snake has one hell of a suspension. The shifter is super short and tight. The brakes work great ( I do wish it had the brembo on the rear) simply for the looks as it does not need it though from a stopping standpoint. This car screams and is more impressive to drive than any Z06 or car in it's class, and best of all, it is a True built Shelby Mustang, and everyone knows it and stops and stares. This car draws more attention than anything on the road, and rightfully so. Well done Ford and Mr. Shelby as you built one hell of a fantastic car. Anyone who bashes this car is either jealous they don't have one or simply have nothing better to do with their time. Seriously, this is a phenominal car, that rightfully and proudly wears the name King of the Road. My .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ff500 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 This may be a stupid question, but what happens if Mr Shelby dies before your car is built? Is he signing each car ? Will one kr be worth more than another if it was built before he passed as opposed to if he does pass before your car is built ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will one kr be worth more than another if it was built before he passed as opposed to if he does pass before your car is built ? First off, God forbid that happens, and NO Mr. Shelby is NOT signing any cars while at SAI, If you choose to have his signature you need to remit a part to his charity for a nominal fee.

ff500 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I agree God Forbid that anything happens,I have the signed dash plaque for my car, are there signed dash plaques in the Kr or is that an extra. And how far is SAI behind, When I was going to have the 40th 725 package done Tasca was not even online yet and I've heard they are a year behind with the SS's and they aren't even taking deposits anymore.
