Details

This 1999 Shelby Series 1 CSX 50X2 prototype belonged to the consignor's late husband, Donald J. Rager, president and chief operating officer of Shelby American from 1994 to 2000. Only 249 production Series 1 sports cars were produced and sold by Shelby American, Inc. With serial number CSX 50X2, this car is the second prototype constructed by Shelby American and is the only remaining Series 1 prototype in existence. With development complete by late 1998, the question of what to do with the prototype arose. After some deliberation, Carroll Shelby gifted the car to longtime friend and then-President and COO Donald J. Rager as a bonus for his contributions to the Series 1 program. The car has since remained in the Rager family, never having been road-registered and still retaining its original manufacturer's Certificate of Origin signed by Carroll Shelby himself. Finished in Silver, this prototype lacks the characteristic racing stripes found on the production units. The bolstered bucket seats are trimmed in black leather with gray inserts and feature the car's namesake embroidered on their backs. This distinctive prototype features similar amenities to those found in the production vehicle, including a Monsoon CD/cassette stereo and a multi-speaker sound system. Included in the sale are two limited-edition Shelby American jackets, the original manufacturer's Statement of Origin signed by Carroll Shelby, a copy of the 1998 Bonus Compensation Agreement awarding the car to Donald Rager signed by both Rager and Shelby, a framed photo of Rager and Shelby with the car, and magazine articles about the model. 12,309 miles (not indicated on title). **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE** **NOT STREET LEGAL**
