1 Alibi 2 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Curious, what kind of documentation & from / by who, would = " this is certified one of one " ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Correction only silver/black stripe. Hoping Steve will let us know if that is accurate It does appear the 08KR0002 was striped by SAI using black in color stripes and not the regular production blue in color stripes. And yes 08KR0002 was shipped to Michigan for a Ford executive. I'm not able to substantiate the claim of only one KR being equipped with black stripes instead of blue but just because it can't be substantiated at this moment doesn't mean it can't be true. The seller would need to clarify their claim of the car being "certified" as one of one, perhaps they have a letter or document from the President or a VP of SAI at the time this car was built. It will be interesting to see what type of attention the bidders give to this car. In my opinion if the auctioneer fails to grab the bidders attention there is a good chance bidders might just ignore the car as another GT500 going across the block.

BIKEBOY Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 It is a curious look though, as the silver on a regular 500, was Vapor. You have to like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
