I guess your new plate will be 08 SHELBY or KR SHELBY ???

Ha! yes... 08 SHELBY is gone.... probably KR SHELBY is plated to a 68 somewhere! Still thinking...... !!

Talking to a dealer last week and they feel the KR will be a no-show in Canada for all the same reasons we're not getting any GT's. If it was coming direct from Ford like the GT500, it would be a different story. The KR cars are going from Ford to Shelby in Las Vegas, same as the GT's. Because they don't have crash test ratings, metric conversion, bilingual labelling, etc. it's unlikely Transport Canada will approve them. Shelby wasn't prepared to do these things for the GT's and likely won't for the KR's either. Let's hope something happens to change all this.

I guess it's nice to be #1 on the list but I'm understanding your likely to be spending six figures.

That's great! I hope they will bring the KR to Canada so that you can be one of the few lucky Canadian owners!!
How about MY 500 KR or 08 500 KR for your new license plate ?

Glad to hear you're almost back in the game Dave. I got an idea for a plate but it's a big secret

Even if they don't sell them in Canada, you should still be able to import them (if you can find a dealer to sell you one in the US). If the manufacturer is listed as Ford (and the VIN will come up as a Mustang GT unless Shelby reissues the VIN which I doubt) then there is no problem bringing them in. You just need to have a dealer activate the daytime lights and thats about it. All the stickers are already bilingual and the speedo whould show km/h as the secondary reading (even if it doesn't all you need is a conversion sticker which the inspecor will supply). The import process is a little long-winded but straight forward. That'd be pretty cool though, having the only (or one of the only) KRs in Canada

[JRGT500]

So, 100 KR's are slated for Canada. Anybody care to speculate on how they'll be allocated and how much?
