Shelby Producing More GT500KR For 2009

This year is Shelby’s 40th anniversary. With that being said we all know that Shelby’s way of celebrating is to release a brand new special limited edition car. This year that car is the Shelby GT500KR and Shelby didn’t hold back with it at all. They displayed the GT500KR at the New York Auto Show and with it they released some good news.

Both Ford and Shelby have chosen to produce an extra 746 cars for the 2009 model year. 541 of the GT500KR’s will be shipped over to our shores here in the U.S. giving us a grand total of 1,571 cars (this is the exact amount of the production run from when the original KR was released). I don’t know if it was nostalgia or the excitement of the day – but we are happy with the decision that they made.
