resembles a Plymouth Prowler but has the heart of a 1996 Ford
Mustang Cobra? MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present this
1999 Panoz Aluminum Intensive Vehicle (AIV) Roadster. It is one of
176 examples made between 1996 and 1999 in Braselton, Georgia.
Dressed in silver paint replete with a World War II Air Force
fighter plane motif, complete with machine guns, virtual rivets and
a blonde starlet astride a bomb. The airbrush work is phenomenal
and one of a kind! This car's paint and trim are in excellent
condition. The car's windshield is clear and intact while the car's
lights, including its separate brake lights and turn signals, are
in fantastic order. The car is complete with factory side curtains,
soft top and bows. The car's bodywork is straight and solid, the
engine bay is tidy, the cargo area is clean and the Panoz rides on
BFG Goodrich radials, 245/40ZR18 in front and 295/35ZR18 in rear.
Each tire surrounds a BBS 10-spoke wheels, a special factory
installed option. The Panoz AIV has four-wheel independent
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (10-inch vented single piston
in front and 13-inch vented twin-piston in back). Under the hood is
a Ford 4.6L DOHC 32-valve modular V-8 engine breathing via dual
exhausts that puts out 305 horsepower and 300 pounds-feet of
torque. The engine has Ford Motorsport ceramic coated stainless
steel headers with independent 1 5/8" primary tubes. These tubes
increase flow and lean the air/fuel mixture to 13:1, which adds
eight horsepower. There is a Steeda under-driven crank pulley with
a SFI racing-approved vibration dampener. The water pump and
alternator pulleys are slightly oversized. These changes net
another eight horsepower. The engine is mated to a Borg-Warner T45
five-speed manual transmission with an 8.8-inch Ford rear end
complete with Traction-Lok limited slip. The stock rear end was
3.27:1 but a previous owner changed it to 3.73:1, which reportedly
blends well with the engine's high revving nature. The previous
owner removed the car's air-conditioning system, which shed 35
pounds of weight, improved vehicle balance and deleted the radiator
shroud, which permits better engine cooling and makes it simpler to
perform basic maintenance. Inside, the car has a carbon fiber and
drilled aluminum interior, a special factory-installed option. The
car's black buckets seats are in overall great condition, as is the
matching black carpet. A three-spoke flat-bottomed Nardi steering
wheel faces the driver and looks great. The inner door panels and
instrument panel echo the rest of the interior's theme and look
great. The instruments are center-mounted and the reversible gauge
faces (black figures on white backgrounds then white figures on
black backgrounds after the sun sets). The center console and
shifter look great. An Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD player rounds
out the interior. Starting in 1994, Panoz developed an aluminum
chassis for the Roadster. This new chassis would both reduce
assembly time (yet 350 man-hours were still put into each copy) and
reduce weight improving performance. In 1996, a new prototype was
unveiled, which differed substantially from the original car. It
had an extruded aluminum space frame with a central backbone.
Special adhesives were used to attach the frame and body.Equally
important, an entirely new drive train was used, courtesy of the
1996Mustang SVT Cobra -an all-aluminum,V-8 DOHC 32-valve motor.
Consequently, the new Roadster was at approximately 70 percent
aluminumand was dubbed anAluminumIntensiveVehicle, or theAIV
Roadster. The new engine produced 305 horsepower and 300
foot-pounds of torque. Combined with the lighter chassis, this
increased the car's power-to-weight ratio significantly. The last
year the AIV Roadster was made was 1999, when 10 were modified with
special paint,supercharged and signed to create the Signature
Edition 2000 Panoz AIV Roadster. Total production of the AIV
consisted of six prototypes and 176 production models sold to the
public. So, if you want a lightweight true roadster that is unique
and will turn heads and generate conversation, stop by MotoeXotica
Classic Cars and check it out. Competition to this Panoz in 1999
included Chevrolet's Corvette Convertible, Ford's Mustang
Convertible, Honda's S2000 Convertible, Mazda's Miata, Nissan's
300ZX Convertible, Plymouth's Prowler and Porsche 911 Cabriolet and
Toyota's MR2 Convertible. Documentation includes original owner's
manual, service documents, modification list, dyno readings,
maintenance log, brochures and more. This car is currently located
at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 17,084 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean
and clear, actual Arizona mileage title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
