GT500 makes Forbes Top 10 list of resale value
Not that I'm selling mine anytime soon....but interesting nonetheless considering it is the only high performance specialty vehicle amongst all of the other pedestrian stuff, I also have the Tacoma TRD 4x4 double cab sport model :P
Link |
Sweet I have the Jeep Wrangler, but it has tons of extra's so not so sure the return would be quite as good, but then again, I'm not selling it anyway...It's a Rubicon, and way too much fun.:D
|
Wonder why just the '08 model?
|
^^^because of it's age. I think I will keep mine as no payment on such a rarely used vehicle screams win to me
|
So why it's age?....., why not the '07 model, or the '09 model!!??
Is the '08 model more special?.... |

Everyone knows the 08 was the best of the bunch :chacha: (mines an 08)
But seriously, Maybe because most trade in in 4 years??? |
I think due to deprecation etc

I wonder if they meant the KR? Isn't '08 the first year of the re-birth of the KR?
...... because there is really no difference from the regular GT500's in those years unless one does have the KR or Super Snake. |
but why not an 09 kr oh my head hurts lol

X2 what a great find

Very good work finding this. I did a bit of research on this subject and found the original press release from '08, explaining the bump in productions numbers from 746 to 1571.
Official Press Release for 2009 Shelby GT500KR numbers DEARBORN, Mich., March 20, 2008 - To compliment the 1,000 2008 40th anniversary Edition Shelby GT500KR King of the Road Mustangs, Ford and Shelby Automobiles announce that an additional 746 units will be built for the 2009 model year to help meet worldwide demand of the supercar. Of that total, 571 units will be available for U.S. customers thus equaling the 1,571-unit production run of the original Shelby GT500KR. The remainder of the units will be for countries that did not receive 2008 models. The response to this car has been overwhelming, so Im glad we can share it with more Mustang enthusiasts, said Carroll Shelby. This car is really special to me and demonstrates that when Shelby Automobiles gets together with Ford SVT and Ford Racing, we can deliver a Mustang that will compete with the best in the world. Like the 40th anniversary limited edition, the 2009 Shelby GT500KR will feature a 540-hp 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack, 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, short-throw shifter, and unique suspension tuning. Exterior design draws inspiration from the classic Shelby KR Mustangs and features unique carbon composite hood, wheels, and unique striping. The unique 40th anniversary badging will only be featured on the 2008 special edition. The Shelby GT500KR or King of the Road Mustang is the fourth limited-edition Mustang that Shelby Automobiles and Ford have brought to market since resuming their collaboration in 2001. It builds on the performance and success of the 500-horsepower Shelby GT500 the most powerful production Mustang ever. If you drive a Shelby Mustang, you are part of something special: a 40-year history of legendary racing and street cars, says Robert Parker, Ford Division Car marketing manager. Thats what is driving interest in the GT500KR among enthusiasts around the world. |
I am something special, well duh lol
