2008 Shelby GT500KR – “King of the Road”

2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR – 4,900 Miles – #758 of 1,011

Offered is a collector-grade 2008 Shelby GT500KR, serial #758 of only 1,011 produced for the model year, showing just 4,900 original miles. Known as the “King of the Road,” the GT500KR was the ultimate performance Mustang of its era, blending limited production exclusivity with serious Shelby-engineered upgrades.

Exterior
Finished in black with matte black stripes, this example exudes a menacing presence. The KR treatment adds a carbon-fiber vented hood with satin-chrome pins, splitter, and mirror caps, plus unique Shelby badging, HID headlights, polished exhaust outlets, rear spoiler, and fog lights. The car remains exceptionally clean, true to its low mileage and collector status.

Wheels, Brakes & Suspension
The car rides on polished 18″ forged Alcoa wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires (255/45 front, 285/40 rear). Braking is handled by Brembo front calipers with four-wheel discs, while the SVT-tuned suspension adds upgraded springs, shocks, struts, sway bars, and a strut tower brace for sharper handling compared to the base GT500.

Interior
Inside, the GT500KR features black leather sport bucket seats embossed with Cobra logos and embroidered with “GT500KR” and Carroll Shelby's signature on the headrests. Amenities include a Shaker 500 sound system with navigation, a CD stereo, cruise control, air conditioning, and a Ford Racing short-throw shifter with cue-ball knob. A serialized dashboard plaque confirms this car's authenticity as #758.

Powertrain
Under the hood lies the supercharged 5.4L DOHC V8, factory-rated at 540 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque—thanks to the Ford Racing Power Upgrade kit with cold-air intake and revised H-pipe exhaust system. Power is delivered through a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, with Ford Racing mufflers providing the soundtrack. Recent fluid services were completed in 2023.
