But the GT500 KR wasn’t just about straight-line speed. The upgraded sway bars, rear traction bars, and 9” rear end made the car agile and responsive, even on tight corners. The front disc brakes were also a significant upgrade over the standard drum brakes found on most cars of the era, providing excellent stopping power.

Of course, the GT500 KR wasn’t just about performance. It was also a stunning example of automotive design. The DuPont Pepper Grey exterior with black pearl Rally Stripes was a classic look that still turns heads today.
