1999 Shelby Series 1 Roadster 

The Series 1 is the only car ever designed and engineered by Carroll Shelby from a clean sheet of paper, and built from the ground up.  All other Shelbys are re-engineered models produced by other manufacturers and modified by Shelby.  Prior to production of the Series 1, significant costs were incurred in testing and certification required to conform to 1999 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.  Once completed, a total of 249 production Series 1's were constructed by Shelby American, Inc., all as 1999 models

For consignment, a rare bird if you will with only 1 of 249 built and low low title verified actual miles, (986 GEEZ).  Fully documented from order to delivery with every bit of paperwork one could ask for when it comes to these prestigious cars, and even a photograph of the man himself, Carroll Shelby signing the dash.  An all-aluminum racing chassis, a stout 4.0 liter V8 and a very rare example in house, clear the test track, my crack decoder and sports car man is behind the wheel and rarin' to go, ready to see if these maroon over silver body paint stripes come off!

Exterior
With a blank sheet of paper, Carroll Shelby borrowed from numerous sources to produce this creation.  Shades of a Viper, Porsche, Corvette, Mazda and a few others have been masterfully mixed to produce this true Carrol Shelby creation.  All bathed in Centennial Silver, with full burgundy metallic stripes, it's one of only a few with this color combination.  Beautiful curvaceous lines for the front hood door and front quarter vents, and the rear with its round lighting and dual central exhaust tips.  One has to love the eyebrow shaped rear quarter tops and how they gracefully melt onto the rear panel.  Wide rockers add to the racing look, and on all 4 corners are 18-inch Shelby alloy wheels...Lovely.  Also, a note to the black canvas top which neatly folds down into a flip up rear cowling that curves and hugs the interior seats. GONE! Just like this car when you get a bit goose with your boot.

Interior
Keeping it simple with the use of two toned tasteful gray tuck and roll inserts and black surrounds for the seat bolsters.  These high backs support you doing the acceleration phase of your driving and have shades of Michelin men in their design.  All other designs for the interior include the use of a french curve, and all systems melt neatly into the dash which has been ergonomically designed for comfort and visual stimuli!  Gray carpeting covers the floors, and a GM Monsoon AM/FM/Cassette/CD stereo system is installed for your auditory pleasure.  A chrome roll bar has been added on should things on the track get a bit topsy turvy.  Although the sound of the engine should keep you occupied for a while!  Ergonomics mixed with sport and performance, it does not get any better than this!

Drivetrain
Under the hood is immaculate with those low miles, and we see a 4.0 liter DOHC EFI Aurora V8 courtesy of Oldsmobile with the optional added supercharger, (an 18k+ extra cost option), helps this super car generate an estimated 450hp.  On the back is a ZF 6-speed manual transmission.  More beautiful design to shoehorn all this technology and power under the curvaceous hood with plenty of airflow inlets.  We note the use of carbon fiber on this engine is limitless.  Kudos Carroll.

Undercarriage
Shelby dynamic coil overs are the suspension, all attached to an aluminum racing chassis.  Stainless steel exhaust system is bolted on along with Borla mufflers and this car achieves a 50/50 weight distribution.  Looks like a mere 986 miles were on this undercarriage!

Drive-Ability
Awesome!  Need we say more?? Strap in and enjoy.  Carroll Shelby knew how to provide excitement during your driving experience with all functions working as they should.

Centennial Silver and Maroon stripes, the optional supercharger, and tons upon tons of documentation from the date of order until today.  Low, Low original miles, molding injection nibs are still on the tires, and it looks like the showroom car when it left back in 1999.  With use of carbon fiber and fiberglass this car weighs in at a mere 2400lbs and drives like a hurricane on wheels.
