The original stickers in the passenger window confirms participation in major U.S. NHRA DRAG RACING events as well.

C'est pas parce que Shelby a ses propres # de série que ça en fait un "constructeur"

En 1965, la Cobra remporte le premier championnat du monde des constructeurs pour les véhicules de grand tourisme. Entre 1962 et 1967, 1011 Cobra sont construites, quand la production s’arrête, mais la fascination demeure.

tout ces renseignements sont véridique et mon été fournis par marcel couture lui meme ,tres gentil le monsieur .

68 était une importante période de transition entre Shelby et Ford. J'imagine que Shelby était deja en train de protéger ses trademark's et Ford cherchait un nom pour ses nouvelles "Shelby"

C'est peut être un fait connu que Shelby a voler le nom KR de GM mais en mi 67 Tasca Ford travaillait déja a crée un package Mustang KR-8 (King of the Road 1968) pour vente chez les concessionnaires Ford en 68.
GM on peut être deja eu vent du KR a Tasca avant que Shelby puisse le voler de GM.

While the name ‘King of the Road’ may have been the perfect fit for the world’s most powerful Mustang, it also provided Shelby the chance to steal the thunder from cross-town rival General Motors. As the legend goes,
Shelby learned that GM was planning to introduce a high-performance model and call it ‘King of the Road.’


Since he had always wanted to use the name, and as one to never miss an opportunity, Shelby set his organization in gear, registering the name and designing new badging for the Cobra Jet-powered Mustang, christening it the GT500KR, and bringing Ford’s ‘King of the Road’ to market before GM ever got a chance to apply the name to their product.

the Mustang KR-8. KR meant "King of the Road", and the 8 referred to the 428 engine. Amazingly, the KR-8 wasn't dreamed up in Ford's engineering department, but in a Ford dealership's service department. This wasn't just any dealer, this was Tasca Ford, the legendary Ford store in Rhode Island owned by Bob Tasca. Tasca was at the forefront of Ford racing in the 1960's, operating a top-running drag team of their own. Tasca competed with Galaxies, Thunderbolts, A/FX Mustangs, and early Funny Cars, all piloted by the late great Bill Lawton. The KR-8 can be considered the very first Cobra Jet Mustang, even though the actual CJ name came along later. Tasca's shop took a Mustang with an exploded 390 and replaced it with a 428 PI short block equipped with 427 Low Riser heads and a 735 Holley carb. Even after reviewing Tasca's creation, Ford still wasn't totally convinced they should produce the car. Bob Tasca was the firecracker, but Hot Rod magazine readers lit the fuse. Surprisingly, it took an article published in the November 1967 issue of Hot Rod to finally seal the deal. The article prompted readers to mail their opinions to Henry Ford II himself, which they did. The onslaught of letters asking him to build the car was enough for the Deuce. He gave his blessing, and approved Tasca'a creation for production. The KR-8 name was dropped, replaced with the new "Cobra Jet" moniker.

C'est drole mais sur le site ils disent que le KR-8 voulait dire "King of the road 428" et dans l'article Hot Rod 8 voulait dire 68.

Actually, their solution came about by accident after a mechanic over-revved the 390 FE in a gold '67 Mustang GT coupe while "street testing" the car one night after work. In place of the grenaded 390 went a 428 Police Interceptor short-block wearing reworked heads featuring enlarged exhaust ports and 1.66 inch exhaust valves. A 735-c.f.m. Holley four-barrel went on top and that was that. Relying only on Ford parts, Tasca had created a Mustang able to post a 13.39-second/105-m.p.h. elapsed time at the strip. On street tires. With closed exhausts.

Tasca people weren't shy in the least about proving this new-found performance to the public. Gregson remembers one night when the local police requested their own special demonstration. "They stopped us and told us if we didn't get that car out of town in ten minutes, they'd throw us all in jail." Gregson and his street-racing cohorts quickly complied.

Bob Tasca called the car the "KR-8" - short for "King of the Road in1968." And not only did he offer the KR-8 conversion to customers, he also showed it to Ford engineers, who loved the idea. Their bosses, however, weren't so hot for it. At first. The plot then thickened.

Oui bizarre
on dirait qu'il change l'histoire tranquilement
j'aurait plus tendance a croire ce qui a été écrit dans le magazine
en 1968
sauf que J'ai vue pas mal d'erreur aussi dans les magazine

parfois le gars qui écrivait l'article se souvenait a peu près
de ce qu'il avait entendu
et sa donnait de petite différence dans son texte
