I'll give you some reasons why some people might not have a problem buying a GT500KR.
1. They only made 1571 of them and will never make any more. That means they will always be a rare car. Rare cars tend to increase in value over time versus their not-so-rare counterparts.
2. The are Shelby cars. Whether you agree or not, Carroll Shelby is an American automotive icon. Anything bearing his name will have a value now and in the future.
3. They feature parts on them that are not available to buy unless you actually have a KR. Sure, you can buy a Mustang GT or GT500 and make it look
almost like a KR, but it will never be a KR.
4. And this is the most important thing to remember. Back in 1968, a GT500KR would cost you about $4,500. That was about 60% more than you would pay for a 1968 Mustang GT Fastback and you know what people then said about it? You would have to be rich or stupid to buy one at that price for when there were better performance cars available for that amount of money or less.
All that being said,
I would not pay MSRP for one.
