According to Autoweek, Carroll's pwn '09 GT500KR will be up for auction at the Vicari auction to be held in Biloxi. I believe that it is held around the same time as the Crusin' the coast event.

I know, I know, I said #16 before, but that's what they told me. Now it's 13. Is it too late to send it back?

I wonder who decided to put it on the block?  This will be interesting indeed.  Thanks falcon for posting.

I wonder what differences from a production KR that one may have. Did Mr. Shelby just take a stocker from the production line, or was that one special in some way? I doubt he required more power (at his age), but who knows...? Anyone have more info on that car?

Wasn't one of the black KRs a glass roof car?  Maybe this is it.

The KR that has the glass roof was given to Carroll from Ford at his 85th birthday bash.

Nope. I looked it up. Not a glass roof car.  Looks like it has the Shaker 1000.  Maybe Robert could let us know more about it?  I wonder what #it is?

I thought the black w/glass roof was auctioned off from the very begining. It is the only '07-'09 GT500 with a factory glass roof...and a KR to top it off.

Wonder if he signed the car? Does he sign his own cars?

Hard to see in the picture but I believe the CSM is # Jan 11 2008

The CSM # is a date?  That doesn't make sense.  Also the ad on the auction site lists the car as an '09 but the badging indicates it's a '08.  The '09s don't have 40th anniversary on them.

OK.  I went on the actual auction site.  The car listed is an '09.  It is CSM 09KR0445.  The pics that Rob has posted of Carroll with the black KR is a different car, an '08 not an '09.

From what I remember the car was given to him on his birthday. That is why it had a date for the CSM#. I could be wrong but that's what I remember.
I do know that there are several KRs out there that don't have the traditional KR CSM #.
Hopefully some day SA will provide an actual list of all the KR CSM #.

They don't seem to do a very good job of previewing cars up for auction (maybe it's too early?), but I did find this online newsletter with some information on the car.

From that above .pdf, it looks as though he may have had TWO black KRs; the '08 with the birthday CSM#, and also that '09 going to auction.
I need to get another KR to drive at my ranch. First, I need the ranch... :)

Get your priorities right Oldlugs!  It's the KR 1st THEN the ranch!

I heard the the orginal 2007 (the one sold at the auction for $550,000) was crushed and was replaced with a registationable one. I believe the CSM# on that one is 08KRXXXX. Yes all X's...

Again that's just what I heard.
