1999 Shelby

Series 1 CSX5004

SOLD!

Let’s talk about future investment potential for a moment. The car before you is a 1999 Shelby Series 1 automobile and is one of only (249) of such vehicles produced. It is numbered as CSX5004 and is car (#4) from the factory. This gorgeous Shelby has only 450 miles since new and is absolutely mint from front to back and from top to bottom. The Series 1 is the only car ever produced by Carroll Shelby from a clean sheet of paper, and built from the ground up. All other Shelby automobiles are re-engineered models by other manufacturers and modified by Shelby. With a carbon fiber body, sophisticated chassis and the Oldsmobile 4.0 liter L47 DOHC engine, it was considered a modern reincarnation of the 289 Cobra. It was the first Shelby built with a Shelby-designed chassis, body and suspension. Weighing 2,650 lbs., the 320 hp sports car goes 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, 12.8 seconds in the quarter-mile and has a top speed of 185 mph, which is actually 15 mph faster than the 427SC Cobra! The Series 1 has dual wishbone suspension w/ coil-over remote reservoir dampers mounted inboard and actuated by “rocker arms”. The engine is mounted completely behind the front axle and drives a shaft supported in a “torque tube” that spins a 6-speed ZF trans-axle specially modified for the Series 1. The chassis is made of extruded and formed 6061 aluminum. It was welded together and then post-heat-treated for maximum strength throughout. Then specially designed aluminum honeycomb panels were bonded into the floorboards and rocker panels for added structure and stiffness. The body panels are carbon fiber and fiberglass laminate. The engine, torque-tube, trans-axle and damper mounts are all rubber-isolated from the frame. There is endless information regarding these incredible vehicles on the Internet so please do your homework and read up on them. This fully optioned Series 1, CSX5004, left the factory with Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Factory Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Electric Mirrors and an AM/FM/CD Audio System. Again, it is in mint condition throughout and with only 450 miles on the clock, she’s basically brand new. The Convertible Top is folded away and is in brand new condition like the rest of the car. If you have never driven one of these super cars, you are in for a very special surprise. The outstanding performance matches the incredible good looks. Now back to the future potential aspect. I would bet my life that in the coming years, these super-rare Series 1 cars will certainly sky rocket in value. Carroll Shelby is in his mid-eighties and god forbid when the day comes, and he is no longer with us, these very special Series 1 cars will go up in value accordingly. I see these cars hitting the quarter million dollar mark in the next decade and quite possibly, much higher. Along with the free & clear Title, the new owner will receive the Original Owners Manual and a Copy of the Original MSO from Shelby American Inc. I may be getting redundant but you simply cannot go wrong with a Collector Car of this stature. Enclosed shipping is available anywhere in the world at the buyer’s expense.
