Dave will have something to say about this.

This is 3900 BEFORE they buffed the paint. 

Why does a KR have early style quarters(reflectors)  

Bid accordingly.

I found the most original back in 1995, #3444. It has been on BJ twice previously, still about 98% original. Kept track of the car until just recently sold again on BJ, time #3 across the carpet. Previous owner was from Arizona.

Yes, may have had the # wrong, working from memory

I have seen 2444 and its a good one

http://Lot #688 - This special-order Shelby GT500KR is one of only 20 Shelby convertibles painted WT6066 yellow, and one of only 7 yellow Shelby convertibles equipped with air conditioning

Reading comprehension is not someones strong suit. The entire statement is false

From the auction house's description: "....a rim-blow tilt steering wheel"

Must have been one of those prototype rim blows.

wasn't 03900 at RK Motors for a long time with a fat number on it?

[Coralsnake]

Thats the car! If you cant sell it, send it to the auction. Someone who doesnt know better will be the new owner

[KR Convertible]

"A rebuilt factory chassis hangs a correct 9" axle, complete with correct 3.00 gears, between factory power steering, power front disc and rear drum brakes, and 10-spoke Shelby alloy wheels wrapped in Goodyear bias-ply tires."

Intersting wording...

Yea and when the alcohol wears off and someone tells you what you really bought........priceless

I know I am very naive (or just had good parenting), but I find it sad an auction company does not "call" this false description for what it is when the cars history is well known.
I watched a similar situation with the same auction house several years ago, and they chose to refute  the hard documentation submitted to them on a high dollar car.
