WHY BUY THIS KR?:
If you’re looking for a trailer queen and concours show winner, this is not the car. I built this KR to incorporate the best of all things Shelby: A very fast, fun and reliable muscle car that is also comfortable around town, on the highway, or at the track.
This car is a badass, but it is remarkably easy to drive.
Excellent HP and Torque throughout RPM range.
Fully Sorted and Dialed-In during the seven years since completion.
Doesn’t overheat in traffic.
Exhaust doesn’t drone at highway speeds. Quiets down nicely in overdrive.
Engine runs well on super unleaded pump gas.
I took the car to Willow Springs Raceway once again, in late 2015, after the new driveline was properly broken in. The car ran fast, and without any problems, all weekend. Never overheated, puked or otherwise got cranky.
For those of you who know the Willow track layout, my KR was caught on the radar gun at the end of the front straight at 133 mph. And it still had a lot more to go.
Thanks to the Gear Vendors overdrive, 5700 rpm = 150 mph.
That was all I needed to experience. It’s been a street driven car ever since.
Car is located in San Diego, CA.
Inspections welcomed.
VIN: 8T02R204740-2575
