Vehicle Description
This Viper roadster bares Shelby's handiwork from nose to tail.
Modifications include an open Cobra-style front grille reminiscent
of the classic roadster, a rear contour spoiler, a striped
composite hardtop, and front and rear custom Carroll Shelby
emblems. In keeping with the Shelbys of old, it was finished in
Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue stripes, and has a custom black
interior with full leather seats embroidered with the Carroll
Shelby logo in blue and white. Some of the finer touches include
custom-engineered wheels with a Shelby center-cap logo, custom
windshield graphics, a 4-point street legal harnesses on both
seats, Shelby-signed leather steering wheel and an upgraded alarm
system. An engraved data plate was installed under the hood, and
Carroll Shelby personally hand-signed and numbered the glovebox.
Powered by an 8.0-liter, 10-cylinder engine and a 6-speed manual
transmission, the Viper roadster gets a performance boost with an
improved rear-axle gear ratio, free-flow air cleaner and exhaust
and high-performance ignition wires, all kept in line with a
heavy-duty suspension. It comes with a letter of authenticity and a
photo log of the car's conversion signed by Fitzgerald Motorsports
and Carroll Shelby. Fitzgerald Motorsports was the only dealer
authorized to build the Shelby Viper roadsters, and only 19 were
built. CARFAX shows FCA US LLC Manufacturer Safety recall issued on
05/16/2002: Steering and differential frame repair.
