Unfortunately I could not be on hand this year like previous year's to soak in all that Barrett-Jackson has to offer but AutoBlog's Drew Phillips was there to catch all the action as the First 2008 Shelby GT500KR crossed the auction block. According to Drew the Shelby GT500KR #0001 sold for $605,000 including the auction fees to Ron Pratte, who has previously bought almost every first Shelby Mustang including Shelby's personal twin-supercharged Super Snake last year. The first Shelby GT500KR was truly a one-of-a-kind Mustang with it's Glass Roof that's not even available on 2008 models. Even the legend himself Carroll Shelby was on hand to send the car off to the new owner Ron Pratte. All proceeds from the sale of this one-of-a-kind KR went to benefit the Juvenlile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Thats a very nice looking car, and was nice on the new Knight Rider, but still not enough to spend over $600k for it..Thats a guy that has more money than he knows what t do with.

Remember, the proceeds of the car went to the JDRF. Besides, having a 1 of 1 is priceless. These cars will sell off the dealers lots for $150K.
