Glass-roof Ford Shelby is out for Barrett-Jackson auction
|
Continuing a Ford and Shelby tradition of charity works, this year a very special version of Ford Shelby GT500KR will participate at the Barrett-Jackson auction and the funds raised will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Robert Parker, Fordās marketing manager commented that āBarrett-Jackson is an ideal venue to launch and sell Fordās premier models. Itās the ultimate platform for selling the worldās most remarkable cars, and weāve created a unique GT500KR just for the occasion.ā
The GT500KR Shelby is really a one-of-a-kind vehicle that is for sure to catch the eye- add to this a full glass roof that actually provides a third roof option for customers, mostly for the ones that appreciate the natural light into their vehicle. The glass is tinted, which reduces both infrared rays and vehicle cool down time by 50 percent. Production of large sunroofs has increased nearly 200 percent in North America since 2003, according to Just-autos.com.The 540-horsepower Shelby GT500KR presented at Barrett-Jackson is a unique rendition of the most powerful factory-built Mustang ever. Shelby GT500KR production began in Las Vegas on the 11th of January.
āBarrett-Jackson will be a rare opportunity for one lucky bidder to own a Shelby GT500KR with a glass roof, a car no one else can even buy,ā said Carroll Shelby. āItās been too long, but Iām very excited to have the āKing of the Roadā back.ā The auction will be the host of numerous models of muscle cars, led by a vintage Mustang from each year in which performance legend Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company produced the street-ripping 1960s classics.
In the end, Craig Jackson, president and CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Co added that āonly Ford Motor Company and Shelby American have sold more genuine Ford-powered Shelby vehicles than the Barrett-Jackson auction over the past 35 years. Iām proud that Ford and Carroll Shelby chose to sell a one-of-a-kind 2008 Shelby GT500KR coupe at our auction, where only the finest, authentic Shelby vehicles are offered to the public.ā
