There are some cars that come with all the trimmings like the Shelby GT500 KR know to some as the King of the Road. When the Shelby GT500 came back on the scene in 2007, Mustang enthusiasts from all ages rushed down down to their local Ford dealer and placed their orders. Many of them waited several months and sometimes over a year to take delivery of their GT500. A close friend of mine waited 18 months to get his GT500, I'll tell his story later. Shelby decided to make a few models
GT500, GT, 40th Anniversary, Hertz, Super Snake and the KR. All of the Shelbys have some
distinct features that not all of them carry but the KR is a very rare Pony.

Sticker price or should I say dealer price on a KR was over $100,000. The first KR that I saw on the dealer floor was listed at $182,000......THIS IS NOT A TYPO. $182,000 large. I took some of my Mustang buddies down to the dealership so they could see for themselves, the look on their faces was a Kodak moment when they saw the asking price, $182,000.....large bills please. All of us thought the dealership was crazy and smoking some serious crack but we stared at the KR wishing we had the cheddar to buy one. Owning one of these would be better than being King for a Day in grade school, better than any dinger I hit playing high school baseball, better than my moms liver smothered with gravy and onions and even better than........well, I won't go that far but you get the point. The KR was off the chain with it's carbon fiber accessories, color scheme and the fact that it's a KR.

Production numbers for the KR are low under 1,200 which makes it that much desirable it's like the Mustang, "Eleanor" in the film "Gone in 60 Seconds" Nicolas Cage's character just had to have that
car at all cost.

If I owned a KR I would probably be scared to drive it in fear that something would happen to it,
like some 16 year-old texting while driving slamming into my rearend. Or a runaway shopping cart filled with cement bags rolling into my door at my local Home Depot and leaving a dent the size of
a soccer ball. I'm sure I would eventually get over my fear, you buy a car to drive not sit in a garage and admire it.

The Shelby GT500 KR has a lot of carbon fiber trimmings....front splitter, mirror cover and rocker panels. KR owners didn't have much to choose from in terms of aftermarket accessories until
now. Bangastang has released our Radiator Cover for the GT500 KR, this has been a long time in
development but the KR owners needed some love to.



Shown here painted in Satin Silver with blue stripes, our Radiator Cover for the Shelby KR
also has a cutout for the CSM plate and is designed to fit with the Ford Racing Cold Air Intake.
Bangastang also offers the KR Radiator Cover in Torch Red with Satin Silver Stripes as well as
Black with matte black stripes.



If you're going to own a King of the Road why not treat yourself like a King or Queen. When you
show up at car show with a Bangastang Radiator Cover and pop your hood just make sure that everyone is wearing sunglasses because the brightness may blind them.
