636-600-4600What 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 1996 Mustang SVT Cobra ? an all-aluminum, V-8 DOHC
32-valve motor. Consequently, the new Roadster was at approximately
70 percent aluminum and was dubbed an Aluminum Intensive Vehicle,
or the AIV 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!!!
