I'm not sure about that particular video, but when the base GT500's were shipped to Shelby for conversion to KR's, there was a big holdup - several months - and so yes, the cars just "sat there" (although we were assured that they were kept inside) - around 950 GT500's lined up waiting for conversion... I'm not sure how many Shelby GT's were made, but there were in the order of 1500KRs, all converted at Shelby Las Vegas. Supersnakes are abit of a different story, as I believe they are upfitted at a number of "authorised installers" arund the country.
I followed the whole KR thing closely for a long time - I had a deposit down at a dealship on one shortly after they were announce. My car was finally scheduled for delivery 18 months later, but I had finally given up, and went with the S302E instead.
