2008 Ford Shelby GT-500KR - Silver with Blue Racing Stripes Limited Edition Only 1.000, The Franklin Mint
Limited Edition of 1,000 Worldwide
During the late sixties, Carroll Shelby® "pulled the trick of the year" by introducing the 1968 Shelby GT-500™ "King of the Road." Muscle Car enthusiasts thought they had seen it all. Forty years later, he did it again! In 2008 he did it all over again, introducing the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR™ – the fastest production Mustang to date! With its roots-type supercharger, it produces a staggering 540 horsepower and a bone-crushing 510 lb-ft of torque.
Now, as a tribute to this incredible Muscle Car, Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to announce two exclusive Limited Edition replicas to honor this historic landmark car. Painted in two different factory-authentic paint schemes, they are sure to find their way into the hearts and display shelves of collectors. By acting now, you can choose one or both of the spectacular models – this one painted Silver with Blue Racing Stripes; the other, Vista Blue with Silver Racing Stripes... the very same options Shelby® offers right from the factory. Issued in a worldwide Limited Edition of just 1,000 of each color, these incredible models are sure to move quickly!
The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR™ was a brilliant collaboration between Carroll Shelby®, Shelby Automobiles, SVT Engineering and Ford Motor Company. The new "King of the Road" would not disappoint its namesake. Rather, it far exceeded its predecessor. The Roots-type supercharger and Ford Racing cold air intake atop the 5.4 liter V-8 engine would produce 540 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. This benchmark performance – coupled with features like front brake cooling vents, a Ford Racing strut tower brace, race-tuned suspension and luxury interior comforts – would move Shelby/Mustang loyalists to crown a new King! The Franklin Mint is proud to offer this 1:24 scale tribute to the Shelby/Mustang monarchy.
