“KR” stands for “King of the Road”, a name that Carroll Shelby conjured up to describe the newest and most brutally powerful incarnation of Shelbys introduced to the world in late 1968. With its menacing front end, and a sleek, but bold fastback design, this car personifies the dynamic combination of raw power and refined beauty in one formidable package. Car #3483 is finished in the beautiful colour combination of Acapulco Blue on Black deluxe interior, considered to be the most desirable colour scheme of all Shelbys built. The car has been treated to a painstakingly precise and complete nut and bolt rotisserie restoration, and features its original matching numbers 428 Cobra Jet Engine and drive train, and factory equipped 4-speed transmission. Fully documented with Deluxe Marti Report and original factory documentation from Shelby including original Shelby invoice to Marshall Motors in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, Individual Order Form, warranty docs and Owner’s Manual. This car is also documented in the Shelby American World Registry, and even comes with its original keys. The passenger visor is signed and numbered by Carroll Shelby himself, and the car is a Blue Chip investment that can be driven and shown, and will only appreciate in value.
