mustangmani540 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well, Since I just introduced myself, I decided to post up my first quest. Although my KR is pretty well documented from the previous owner, I don't have an allocation poker chip. If anyone knows where one could be located, the answer is definitely to be found on this forum! So I am asking for help, insight, divine intervention, whatever it takes, to procure the poker chip! I have done some searching and have come up with a few very old results, so i believe its possible. Perhaps someone on here had a KR, sold it, but still had the chip, now would be a great time to help a KR owner out! Feel free to post up your own pics of the poker chip. Make me jealous, its ok. Thanks in advance for any/all help. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcobra Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I've been looking for one of these too. Maybe someone ended up with a handful that they want to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangmani540 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 We can only hope. There has to be a lot of them floating around somewhere. Come on, post 'em up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangmani540 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 No Chips to be had, or even pics posted? Sad day indeed. Have a great Holiday weekend folks. If the weather holds as nice as today, my KR will have lots more miles on her by Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbypt Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Sorry guys, I haven't been on the forum in a long time. I have two of these chips. They are very cool and there were 50 allocated at a Ford event in Las Vegas in 2007. Because most of the KRs were going to big dealers, the smaller dealerships wanted a fairer chance to get a KR allocation. So, Ford put in 50 chips into random goodie bags and if you were lucky enough to find one in your bag, you would get a KR allocated to your dealership. So, I'm guessing there are 50+ chips out there. I will look around for the chips and take a picture for you. So, do I want to sell one? No, not at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiaCobra Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Mustangmani540, open the hood of your KR and tell us if it has the "KR embroiled" master cylinder cap. If not, add that to the list of things you'll need to find for your KR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustangmani540 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I do indeed have the elusive master cylinder cap.

shelbypt Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 can someone give me a step by step process on how to post pics? Thx I upload my photos to photobucket. Once there I tap the image file number and it copies it. Then I go into the thread and paste this image number, maybe it should be described as an address, and when I submit the post, the image shows up. I hope that helps.

mustangmani540 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Absolutely fantastic pics of the '68. I too haven't been on the site in a while. Thanks for posting your car pics, and thanks for the picture of the poker chip. I truly appreciate it. I have never seen one before. Rod P.S. I also thought I would receive emails when people posted in my thread. I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Piazza Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Sorry guys, I haven't been on the forum in a long time. I have two of these chips. They are very cool and there were 50 allocated at a Ford event in Las Vegas in 2007.

I will look around for the chips and take a picture for you. So, do I want to sell one? No, not at this time. I just recently purchased a 2008 Shelby GT500KR #0871 (silver/blue stripes) and it came with the original tires and wheels plus the original splitter that were removed from the car the day the first owner brought the car home. He purchased a new set of Shelby 20" wheels and tires with spinners and a regular GT500 splitter that are currently on the car. He also purchased 2 master cylinder caps, the blue and black steering wheel, console cover and shift boot plus the blue GT500kr shift ball. I too am interested in obtaining a KR poker chip and am willing pay up plus throw in one of my master cylinder caps if you don't have one already. I am a disabled veteran and trying to spend the time to log on my computer trying to locate this chip is very hard for me to do. If you would be willing to part with one of your poker chips it really make my day!!!!! Shelbylou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
