Details

The Series 1 was the first and only car designed, engineered and built from the ground-up, as a Shelby, by Shelby American and Carroll Shelby. Every component that went into building the Series 1 was designed specifically for it, including the modified Oldsmobile Aurora V8 320hp racing engine and custom ZF 6-speed manual transaxle. The frame is aluminum featuring aluminum honeycomb reinforcement panels, covered in carbon fiber and fiberglass laminate body panels; a first in an American car. This car is #112 of 249 produced, and was assembled at Shelby's Las Vegas facility in 1999. It’s equipped with the Supercharger Package offered by Shelby as an optional extra, with the 4.0-liter V8 engine, bumping its power to 450hp, backed by a 6-speed manual transmission. This Series 1, which has less than 4,000 actual miles, was also fitted with many Shelby-sourced and installed extras, including 4-wheel 4-piston disc brakes and painted Metallic Blue Le Mans stripes. Other features include air conditioning, power steering and brakes, power windows, locks and mirrors, and Shelby 5-spoke aluminum wheels with specifically designed Z-rated tires. It has Carroll Shelby’s authentic signature on the dash, and has never been raced.
