Deluxe Marti Report
The Mustang’s wood-grain-trimmed Deluxe interior was enhanced by a special Shelby console with Stewart Warner gauges and a padded armrest with embossed Shelby snake logo. Capable but smooth handling was provided by the Mustang’s heavy-duty suspension. Looking to distinguish the Cobra Jet-powered Shelby from the earlier GT500 with the 428 Police Interceptor, Carroll Shelby copyrighted the “King of the Road” name before Chevrolet could grab it for a special Chevelle. Thus, the blue rocker-panel stripes on this Shelby carry the GT500KR lettering. The fastback also has the original buck tag and Shelby 10-spoke aluminum wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires.
