JRGT500 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Talking to a dealer last week and they feel the KR will be a no-show in Canada for all the same reasons we're not getting any GT's. If it was coming direct from Ford like the GT500, it would be a different story. The KR cars are going from Ford to Shelby in Las Vegas, same as the GT's. Because they don't have crash test ratings, metric conversion, bilingual labelling, etc. it's unlikely Transport Canada will approve them. Shelby wasn't prepared to do these things for the GT's and likely won't for the KR's either. Let's hope something happens to change all this.

If the manufacturer is listed as Ford (and the VIN will come up as a Mustang GT unless Shelby reissues the VIN which I doubt) then there is no problem bringing them in. You just need to have a dealer activate the daytime lights and thats about it. All the stickers are already bilingual and the speedo whould show km/h as the secondary reading (even if it doesn't all you need is a conversion sticker which the inspecor will supply). The import process is a little long-winded but straight forward. That'd be pretty cool though, having the only (or one of the only) KRs in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGT500 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 So, 100 KR's are slated for Canada. Anybody care to speculate on how they'll be allocated and how much? JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YZD263 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Umm......right here on this site under 2008 Shelby GT500KR. JR +1. This is something that was annonced at the Tulsa meet and Sharon posted about it if I remember correctly. As far as how those 100 cars will be allocated, SVT dealers still have the exclusivity on the GT500 in Canada, contrary to the US, so I guess only SVT dealers should get all the KRs. For the GT500, each SVT dealer had a 15 car allocation, which I think was further increased to 19, according to what I have read here. Considering that there are 27 SVT dealers in Canada, it is likely that each will be allocated at least 3 cars, with a majority being allocated 4 cars. By the way, congratulations Kaylan!

sharon Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 While we were in Tulsa Ford announced that they would be sending 100 GT500KR to Canada and 1000 to the United States. Saw it with my own eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogon Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ha! yes... 08 SHELBY is gone.... probably KR SHELBY is plated to a 68 somewhere! Still thinking...... !! Just checked this Canada site for the first time, so this post is a tad late. I checked GT500KR in Alberta (7 character max here) and it's gone. My plate is GT500HP, which should be good for a while. I have an '07 convertible, but was planning on a coupe. Still undecided if I'll sell and buy an '08 coupe when the dealer gets to me on the waiting list. Even if I wasn't getting the KR, I was going to get the plate. Too late, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford said they are ALL lottery and 1 per dealer. so unless the dealer one the first lottery in Aug, he really dont know if they are getting a car or not. this is a true lottery and has very little to so with size. except bigger dealer will get more chips in the drawing. different things get you more chips, but if you win the other chips come out. michael morris (no KR allocation yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SVT program is still in effect and so far with the 07/08 GT500's the allocation was divided evenly between the 27 Dealers. 405 cars/27 Dealers = 15 cars per dealer. Using the same allocation each SVT dealerwould get a minimum of 2 cars with a select few getting a third. I know the Dealer I'm working with has 3 spots sold and that's it.

If indeed 100 KRs are coming to Canada, all SVT dealers should get 3, with some of them getting 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
