Details

This 1999 Shelby Series 1 is constructed from 6061 aluminum and houses a Vortec supercharged Oldsmobile-derived 4.0-liter L47 Aurora V8 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Instead of cars like the Cobra, which Carroll Shelby took and modified from an existing model, this car was his singular vision and a clean sheet build from the ground up. Aside from the engine, transmission and various small bits, the rest of the car was produced by Shelby American, and remains the only car for which Carroll Shelby managed 100 percent of the design. This example, having just 5,257 actual miles, represents an example of American motoring history. Its Millennium Silver paint is accented by bright orange stripes and polished Speedline wheels. The cabin is comfortable and full of power features that are well-laid-out controls. You can also see the stout aluminum chassis and race-grade Multimatic shocks custom-built for the Series 1 and hung off billet aluminum rocker arms.
