    I bought my 1968 GT500KR in 1978, at that time I paid $2000.00, the car was complete down to the thermactor and air breather. The car is a rare 4 speed with factory air.

    Since January 30th of 1971. I was pulled over by the cops one half hour after the purchase. OK, no plates that was all.

    I had mine (1968 Gt 500 KR) for 12 years! That's way too long to own a car (for me anyway). I sold it about 2 years ago for a Boss 302. I'll play with the Boss for another year of so then move on.

    I owned my first Shelby, a 69 GT350, for about a year and a half. I sold it to buy a 70 Boss 302. I liked the Boss, but wanted another Shelby, so I sold that after about a year, and bought a 67 GT350, #2090. I owned that from July of 1980 until July of 1991, when I sold it. A couple of years later, I bought an 86 Shelby Charger, which I had for a couple of years. Currently, I am "Shelbyless".... :(

    I bought the Dragonsnake in 1967, probably before most members of this forum were eligible to drive. And, no, that doesn't make me old enough to start thinking about handing in my license.
