That's a pretty awesome Cobra - and some cool build history as well. I have a 2008 GT500KR, which was also built as a show vehicle. Aside from what you mentioned, Flat Rock built ones had extra hot melt sound deadening from Mazda applied inside. Not sure if Dearborn-Rouge did that with their show vehicles or not?

Looks so sweet - love the red interior! I have two 1969s - one is Royal Maroon with a 428SCJ - don't know which axle it originally came with, however it's a C6 auto that I am converting over to a four speed top loader. The other has a 351C-4V in it (not original).

What's your "R" code? I have a 1969 Mustang Mach1 R.

Disagree - how small in vehicle size can Lincoln go?

Since Ford has filed for the 'SKYLINE' trademark for new usage on autos, we've decided to add a forum for it, which can be found here: https://blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/160-skyline/ Alternatively, the Facebook group page is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fordskyline

Here's the link to the Ford Skyline Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fordskyline

Ford filed for the "Skyline' trademark on 12 July 2021, which is certain to create some confusion since there's already a Nissan Skyline. However, Nissan never filed for an international class 12 trademark like Ford has. Let the speculation begin!

Parts of Ford seem separated from other parts of Ford. BOF doesn't pose a trademark issue for Ford, so it will all work out over the next few weeks. Nothing to worry about here

Yes, we are having issues with Ford. They wish this and other sites to be closed down - not to worry because we're not going anywhere. More updates on this as we progress.......

Shelby GT500KR VP1 / Verification Prototype #1 The Shelby GT500KR program was the last program between Carroll Shelby and Ford. This vehicle is currently owned by a former Shelby American employee. Verification Prototypes Made Ford made four specific GT500KR verification prototypes: VP1: EPA Certification Program Vehicle. This is the vehicle for sale. VP2: Durability Certification Vehicle. Scrapped by Ford. VP3: Not used for GT500KR program. VP4: Buck Vehicle. Reportedly scrapped by Ford. Features • This vehicle was used by Ford and Shelby to certify the Shelby GT500KR for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and receive an Executive Order (EO) in order for vehicle to be publicly sold, • GT500KR E.P.A. certification by Mercedes Benz - includes data book, • Built on 29 August 2007 - this was the first vehicle produced specifically as a Shelby GT500KR. VP2 was produced on 31 August 2007, • Includes white DOT Goodyear experimental tires, • Ford Racing adjustable front suspension (not production GT500KR), • Ford Racing suspension (not production GT500KR), • Roush prototype GT500KR carbon fiber hood, • Roush prototype GT500KR splitter, • Roush prototype rear deck spoiler, • Fuel gauge inoperable for E.P.A. testing procedures, • External fuel lines *, • Emissions exempt declaration certification *. Deleted Items • Over the hood stripes deleted (only KR with such), does have GT500KR side stripes, • Performance mufflers with chrome plates tips replaced with E.P.A. specific test mufflers, • Ford Racing short throw shifter and shifter ball (uses stock GT500 unit), • Mirror skull caps, • Shelby GT500KR 18" forged aluminum wheels (uses stock GT500 wheels). Notes * This is an actual verification prototype test vehicle. Due to the liability associated with prototype vehicles, these vehicles are scrapped by Ford. On the rare occasion that a prototype vehicle is sold to the public, it's done without a VIN and is not registerable - a bill of sale only. However, VP1 was incorrectly sold with a title and can be registered legally for use on highways. Buyer will have to sign a waiver of liability by seller before purchase. Liability for this vehicle falls back to Shelby and the Ford Motor Company. This unique Shelby is meant to be shown in a museum rather than in a private collection. The hood featured in this photograph was used for the Shelby GT500 Terlingua program and isn't correct. The correct prototype GT500KR hood (gray) will be installed. The GT500KR black wheels shown are also not correct - the correct GT500 wheels and prototype tires will be installed. This post will be updated with more details as to sale date and location.

Nice GT500KR. I worked at Shelby in Las Vegas during the build - one of our pool cars was a Torch Red GT500KR 0051, which I abused on a regular basis ?

From reading Telluride sites, the first year models have been plagued with a lot of problems (since were pointing out those found in the early Explorers). The exterior palettes between the Telluride and Explorer couldn't be more different.
