1FAFP90 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 With the idea of the first GT500KR coupe being auctioned next January in Scottsdale, how about the possibility of the first GT500KR convertible being auctioned at Palm Beach in March?

1FAFP90 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Even though they say the KR is coupe only, I think in time we'll see a convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Although anything is possible, it's unlikely that a KR Vert will happen mostly due to production and allocation issues. SAI is days away from starting production on the 500 Hertz Verts (hey, that sounds kinda cool), and they still have to finish up production on the SGT hardtops, then start on the 1000 KR's. Although not announced and certainly not offical, the odds are quite good that SGT verts will be made for sale next February after the car is made offical and revealed at Ron Pratte's Shelby Show (AKA Barrett-Jackson) that's held in Arizona in January. If Ford/SAI do decide to make the SGT Verts, then we have to assume that they will build 6000 (combined stick/autos) of those units like they are with the hardtops, and if you combine those 6000 Verts with the GT, V6, rental car, and GT500 verts that they have to build too, that's a poop load of Verts to build within one model year. Like I said, anything is possible and I could be quite wrong, but I just don't think that a KR vert will ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FAFP90 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 In this interview, Amy says a Convertible KR is a future possibility. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=63163 So, that might mean KR production will extend into '09, which hopefully means more than 1000 coupes will be built over it's lifespan.
