Random 257: 40th Anniversary Shelby GT500KR
I simply do not know enough about Ford Mustangs in general or, more specifically, the Shelby high-performance editions to write anything credible about the ultra-tough car shown here. Therefore, I'll just post the attached Wikipedia link and let you read about the marque yourselves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Mustang).
What I can say, however, is that the Shelby shown here is absolutely magnificent - better, I might venture - than the more current Mustangs. The bonnet scoop and twin GT stripes are highly reminiscent of the classic mid- to late-1960s versions and the forged limited edition Shelby wheels looked amazing, too.
Having had the benefit of a quick squiz at the Wikipedia article above, I can't help but point out that this car is one of only 1,712 GT500KRs ever produced and, as a right-hand drive, is probably extremely rare, as only 141 were manufactured for sale beyond the USA's domestic market (military use, and for Canadian and other export sales). The military and Canadian editions would certainly be left-hand drive, leaving very, very few for sale in Australia, Britain and other countries that drive on the left side of the road. The wipers on this example suggest that it hasn't been converted to right-hand drive; it's almost certainly one of those very low volume export cars.
