Chassis no. 8T3R211037-03910. Wimbledon White with white vinyl top over black vinyl. 428/335hp, 4-speed, power steering and brakes, 10-spoke Shelby wheels, F70-15 Goodyear Speedway tires, pushbutton radio, Lucas fog lights, 3.50 Traction-Lok.

Evaluation: Represented as the original engine. Excellent clearcoat paint. Tight, clean top, Like new upholstery. Other than peeling factory labels the engine compartment is restored like new with some subsequent use. The underbody also is restored and driven a little. Restored better than new and carefully enjoyed.

Bottom Line: This GT500 KR sold at Barrett-Jackson WestWorld in 2009 for $165,000 when it was Red and the odometer displayed 54,309 miles. It has since been returned to its original Wimbledon White and now shows 57,468 miles, 3,159 more than thirteen years ago. The passage of time has only served to make it more desirable but the Harrisburg bidders weren’t carried away and this is a responsible price for a very good car.
