John Canfield Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 According to Autoweek, Carroll's pwn '09 GT500KR will be up for auction at the Vicari auction to be held in Biloxi. I believe that it is held around the same time as the Crusin' the coast event. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20120802/CARNEWS/120809961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I wonder who decided to put it on the block? This will be interesting indeed. Thanks falcon for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlugs Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I wonder what differences from a production KR that one may have. Did Mr. Shelby just take a stocker from the production line, or was that one special in some way? I doubt he required more power (at his age), but who knows...? Anyone have more info on that car?

08KR525 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wasn't one of the black KRs a glass roof car? Maybe this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 The KR that has the glass roof was given to Carroll from Ford at his 85th birthday bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Nope. I looked it up. Not a glass roof car. Looks like it has the Shaker 1000. Maybe Robert could let us know more about it? I wonder what #it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTSnake Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I thought the black w/glass roof was auctioned off from the very begining. It is the only '07-'09 GT500 with a factory glass roof...and a KR to top it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08KR525 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 The CSM # is a date? That doesn't make sense. Also the ad on the auction site lists the car as an '09 but the badging indicates it's a '08. The '09s don't have 40th anniversary on them.

08KR525 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 OK. I went on the actual auction site. The car listed is an '09. It is CSM 09KR0445. The pics that Rob has posted of Carroll with the black KR is a different car, an '08 not an '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pics that Rob has posted of Carroll with the black KR is a different car, an '08 not an '09. From what I remember the car was given to him on his birthday. That is why it had a date for the CSM#. I could be wrong but that's what I remember. I do know that there are several KRs out there that don't have the traditional KR CSM #. Hopefully some day SA will provide an actual list of all the KR CSM #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Canfield Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 They don't seem to do a very good job of previewing cars up for auction (maybe it's too early?), but I did find this online newsletter with some information on the car. http://vicariauction.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/August-Newsletter.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlugs Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 From that above .pdf, it looks as though he may have had TWO black KRs; the '08 with the birthday CSM#, and also that '09 going to auction. I need to get another KR to drive at my ranch. First, I need the ranch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Get your priorities right Oldlugs! It's the KR 1st THEN the ranch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppd01 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 That's my recollection also. If I remember correctly, it was auctioned to Ron Pratte at the Barret-Jackson auction in Scottsdale in January 2008. I heard the the orginal 2007 (the one sold at the auction for $550,000) was crushed and was replaced with a registationable one. I believe the CSM# on that one is 08KRXXXX. Yes all X's... Again that's just what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08KR525 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's hard to say. What did Amy Bolyn's sell for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's hard to say. What did Amy Bolyn's sell for? LOL! Her name associated with the car would probably make it worth less. I'm thinking Shelbys KR is gonna bring a huge #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hard to see in the picture but I believe the CSM is # Jan 11 2008 The correct CSM is Jan112008 It's one a few irrelgular CSM numbered Shelby models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 OK. I went on the actual auction site. The car listed is an '09. It is CSM 09KR0445. The pics that Rob has posted of Carroll with the black KR is a different car, an '08 not an '09. Correct. Some are confusing this 2009 KR with Carroll's B-day KR that is still in Carroll's collection. This 2009 KR was shipped to Texas and was titled in Carroll's name. At some point this 2009 KR was sold off and is now currently being put up for auction by the current owner. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not but let me send him an email and see what info he's willing to share on how he purchased the KR. Gotta be a story there.
