How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionLimited edition – the stated limit of the run: additional GT500KRs announced as 2009 models (571 of them for the US market) | 7461Strongest evidence | Factory production | Independently researched |
| Model-year productionadditional GT500KRs planned for the 2009 model year in the US market (Shelby American: another 571 units) | 5712 | Manufacturer reported | Factory reported |
746 is the figure for all 2009-model GT500KRs including non-US cars (Mecum); 571 is the US-market plan quoted by Shelby.
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The 2009 model year was the second and final year of the modern GT500KR. Shelby and SVT announced 1,000 cars for 2008 and a further 571 for 2009, which together equal the 1,571 built in 1968. Shelby American says the cars were built at its Las Vegas headquarters in spring 2008 and in 2009.
