It’s always fun to see vintage for sale ads for our cars. Here's a scan of the ad that I clipped out of the Los Angeles Times in 1982 about my KR.
(Yes, I know that there were no factory 427 KRs built. But, in '82, such a car was still somewhat of an urban legend with the Shelby/Cobra guys I hung around with.)
As a young guy with not much money, I had to beg and borrow most of the $$ to buy the KR.
My parents would have none of it, so major thanks to grandma for coming through with the last $1000 needed. I paid her back by painting her house inside and out.
Not sure she appreciated the tire-smoking ride I gave her, but at least she didn't scream for me to slow down.
Let's see some more old ads!
