Alcan KobRa Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 There's an 09 KR CSM #341 on eBay listed and badged as a 40th Anniversary edition. I was under the impression that only the 08s were badged as 40th editions. It's a salvage vehicle as well. AK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09KR0058 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Red flag!!! If its an '09, its not a 40th. You could call Shelby and give them the CSM number. They might have more information. If its a 40th, then it would have to be an '08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcan KobRa Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I thought so. I've contacted the dealership selling it twice. They removed it for a while but posted it back up today. Good case for a lawsuit from a potential buyer if you ask me. Thanks 58. AK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDB Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 So...it got schmucked in the front and they put 40th badges on. Buyer beware...especially with a salvage title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 To be fair the dealer may have no idea. The former owner could have attached what ever they wanted and the dealer bought it at auction...not sure they have the expertise or resources to trace every car, and I think for a car like this the buyer will, or should, know more.

As per my first post, I contacted the dealer. I first spoke to a sales person, then a week later I spoke to who I believe was the owner. I even suggested he contact Shelby. They ended the auction last week and continued it today. So they know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDB Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 So they know. BFD. That doesn't mean they put the badges on it. Doesn't mean they are experts with the subtleties of what differentiates an '08 to an '09 like we are. They are just describing the car as it sits now. It's a used car.

I remember another one being talked about here on TS a couple of years ago with the same exact situation. If I remember correctly, it was confirmed that it came from Shelby Automotive Inc (SAI) like that. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm wondering if it's the same one that just resurfaced. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 It sure looks like the one that was back halved to repair it. There are posts on TS somewhere about this car. I know there was a black KR for sale at a dealership new near me that came from SAI misbadged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or were there multiples of the 'mistake'? Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Phil, I think it happened more than once. The KR on Ebay right now in question I'm almost certain FIA contacted them and found out it had had a rear clip installed. It is a true KR albeit with a salvage title as the ad says.
