Vehicle Description
Shelby Mustangs, and Ford GT-40s didn't just put Carroll Shelby on
the map, they made him a legend. There is no other name in the
world that is more synonymous with cars than Carroll Shelby. From
racer, to designer, to manufacturer, nobody has had the impact that
Carroll Shelby did. He began working with Ford in the 1960's to
help them beat Ferrari at LeMans. His immediate success with the
Cobra, Cobra Daytona Coupe, Shelby mustangs, and Ford GT-40 didn't
just put him on the map, it made him a legend.Shelby never went
away from cars or racing and later went on to work with Dodge in
the 1990's to help create what came to be known as the Dodge Viper,
a tribute to his original Cobra. Again, another instant success.By
the late 1990's Shelby was ready to venture out on his own and
produce a world-class supercar. The result of that was the 1999
Shelby Series 1, a car capable of taking on and beating the best
that the world had to offer.Only 249 Series 1s were ever produced
making it one of the rarest automobiles in history. This particular
car is #97 and has only 687 actual miles. It is personally signed
on the dash by Carroll Shelby. This is one of those cars that will
be worth millions of dollars in the years to come.Carroll Shelby
