Here is a quick walk around video I did of the car.

No, this one was in Tucson. Gentleman owned it since 1970 and would never let it go. He also had some very rare Mopar muscle (that I also have with me now in California)

Deep down we're all car guys, so, what Mopar muscle did you rescue?
Just a quick say, then we can get back to the KR

71 Challenger 426 Hemi 4 speed, 69 Charger 500 440 automatic, 70 Coronet R/T 440 6 pack 4 speed, and a 69 Charger R/T 440 Automatic... (so nothing special...LOL)

Thanks everybody for the well wishes. Im approaching this one as a great opportunity to learn. I love learning new stuff and this being my first time through such a beast, I am already having a blast.  Got the engine started and tuned a bit...sounds really good actually. The fuel pump is leaking out the weep hole so I ordered up a rebuild kit. The starter solenoid was not behaving properly so I replaced it with a new one (but kept the original)

I crawled under the car just now to check the casting date numbers...sadly I don't think it is the original block. The number is 6L28 which if Im not mistaken is November 28th 1966 (the day before my birthday coincidentally). I would imagine that is a notable hit in value for the car. It is what it is...still a neat find with solid history. Still proud to have it in the garage.

Thanks for the invite, I have already found some very useful info on your website.  One of the things I wish to do first is to make certain that the engine is original to the car. The Shelby registry notes that the engine was rebuilt at one point and I have a receipt in the file with the car that refers to this as well.  Ive not looked for the numbers on the engine itself yet, but the receipt shows some numbers...can anyone help decipher?

Hey everybody! Newbie here with lots to learn. I recently pulled a GT500KR home from an Arizona estate where it's owner since 1970 had it stored. It's a solid car, but sun cooked, looks to be all original (for the most part) and I want to learn everything I can about it.

I ran the Marti report and it's a legitimate 500KR 4 speed , but I want to check the numbers on the engine and all the major components to make sure it's correct .

03330 is the number, it's in the Shelby Registry (a friend sent me a copy of the listing)

Where do I start?
