Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of 500 KRs built for 1968. Mostly original. Showing 70,993 miles. Recently serviced. Has Marti Report. Tired but presentable paint and chrome. Tidy and lightly worn underneath. Original interior is sound but tired. Console lid is crooked. Lightly faded gauges. Worn switchgear. This car looks too good to restored. From only a few feet away you'd never guess it was original.
Market commentary
Sold at Gooding Amelia in 2012 for $140,250, which was on the cheap side at the time but not a steal. This result, on the other hand, is a downright bargain for a genuine KR convertible in almost any condition, let alone a well preserved example that's running, driving and sorted. The Shelby crowd must have been absent on Friday, and the rest of the bidders were too busy with Porsches.
