K.A.R. Auto Group, Inc. was founded 23 years ago by Kevin Allen Roberts and his father, Gordon Roberts. The K.A.R., of course, is derived from Kevin Allen Roberts' initials. K.A.R. began life as a partnership. K.A.R. and Associates, as it was known in the beginning, enjoyed sales growth year after year. The business focused on Classic Mustang sales, service and restoration, and new and used parts sales from the very beginning.

In 1994, George Waydo, a long time Mustang enthusiast, MCA National show winner and Shelby National "Best of Show" winner, decided to turn his love for Classic Mustangs into a business. George acquired K.A.R. and Associates from Kevin and Gordon Roberts. George Waydo, fully realizing the vast knowledge and experience of Kevin Roberts and understanding Kevin's passionate love for Classic Mustangs, invited Kevin to remain with the new company, K.A.R. Auto Group, Inc., as Vice President of Operations and an equity owner. Soon after, George and Kevin invited Judy Moehl, a senior executive secretary with a Fortune 100 company with tremendous organizational skills, to serve as Administration Manager and equity owner of the company. Today, George, Kevin and Judy combined own 100% of the stock of K.A.R. Auto Group, Inc.
K.A.R.'s growth not only continued but dramatically increased as new capital was put into the business. Today, K.A.R. Auto Group, Inc. stands alone as America's largest Classic Mustang dealer. K.A.R. specializes in "rust free" Mustangs acquired from states where road "salt" is not required during the winter months. K.A.R. maintains a large network of brokers, finders, and hobbyists around America who actively source quality Mustangs for K.A.R. to acquire.
K.A.R. Auto Group is unique in other ways as well. In addition to Classic Mustang sales, K.A.R. operates a full service, repair, and restoration facility. No job is too small or too large. K.A.R. has built national champions, trophy winning weekend drivers, and, of course, keeps many Mustangs operating safely and dependably with expert routine service or repairs. Finally, K.A.R. operates a large and very attractive retail store; one of the largest in America. K.A.R.'s store is stocked with Mustang parts that fit, work, and look good. All new parts must be tested in our shop before they are stocked in the store. Of course, mail order is also available through K.A.R.'s 100+ page catalog. Most orders are shipped within 24 hours and many are shipped the same day.
Finally, K.A.R. maintains a huge "used" parts inventory. Some parts simply are not manufactured by Ford Motor Company or the aftermarket companies. Reconditioned, used parts fill this void. Try K.A.R. for all those rare or hard to find used parts.
K.A.R. Auto Group is a one-stop Mustang headquarters:
- Classic Mustang Sales - Always over 20 in stock
- Late Model Mustang Sales -- 1987-1995 low mileage or performance-enhanced Mustangs
