Cars built or modified by Kar-Kraft are identified by a unique "KK" serial number .
Kar-Kraft was subcontracted to hand-modify the front ends, relocating the shock towers and reinforcing the structure to fit the "semi-hemi" engine.
A radical mid-engine Mustang prototype meant to challenge European sports cars. It featured a 289 Hi-Po V8 mounted behind the driver and a lightweight fiberglass body. Though it never reached production, it remains a "holy grail" for Ford historians. The "Kar-Kraft" Experience
The shop was abruptly closed in late 1970 as Ford shifted its priorities away from racing, but its impact on muscle car culture persists. Today, Boss 429s are among the most valuable Fords in existence, often selling for $300,000 to $600,000+ at auction. Current Continuation
