Cooper Classics is proud to present what we believe is the best Shelby GT500KR on the planet. This single-year-only King of the Road underwent an outstanding concours restoration less than 500 miles ago, meticulously performed by a GT500KR Club President. It has been restored to utmost accuracy and correctness in every aspect. During the restoration process, great care was taken to utilize New Old Stock parts, with limited use of reproduction parts. This Shelby boasts proper engine date codes, and retains all original body panels. The GT500KR was originally ordered in Yellow, equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and air conditioning, making it one of only 87 in this color and one of 125 with the desirable 4-speed manual and A/C combination. It has achieved three Gold awards in the Shelby Concours, showcasing its exceptional quality. The vehicle presents itself as if it were a brand new Shelby GT500KR, with meticulous detailing evident throughout. The Elite Marti Report provides confirmation of all the car's details and its original ordering specifications, which remain unchanged to this day. The purchase invoice from the original order is included, further validating the accuracy of the vehicle. The impeccably detailed and correct 428 Cobra Jet engine runs flawlessly, producing a fantastic sound. The 4-speed transmission shifts confidently in all gears. The original steering column, which swings away as you exit the vehicle, functions perfectly. This GT500KR would likely secure an award at any Shelby Concours event it entered today. Additionally, it comes with its original and correct wheels, hubcaps, and tires. The glovebox is autographed by Mr. Carroll Shelby himself, and a Certificate of Authenticity for the signature is included. The reported mileage of 50,256 is believed to be original. The underside of this car is diligently detailed and exhibits the same level of cleanliness as the exterior. We have recently serviced this Shelby with Shelby experts East End Restoration, ensuring its readiness to win more trophies or become the centerpiece of your collection. We firmly believe that this GT500KR may be one of the best examples in existence. Every aspect of this car has been brought as close to perfection as possible, and we do not use the word "perfect" lightly. This outstanding GT500KR comes with trophies, original wheels, tires, and hubcaps, Marti Report, display plaque, car cover, restoration information, and spare parts.
