Vehicle Description
Finished in Centennial Silver, this factory-documented supercharged
1999 Shelby Series 1 convertible is powered by a 4.0-liter V8
engine backed by a manual transmission with 950 actual miles. Built
on an aluminum chassis and cloaked in a 130-pound carbon fiber body
and carbon fiber hood. It is equipped with a Corvette gearbox,
independent suspension, and massive brakes. With 320 horsepower on
tap, the Series 1 achieved 60 mph in 4.4-seconds, but as usual,
Shelby did not stop there. Very few cars, including this early
example, were returned by their owners to Shelby for a $22,000
supercharger upgrade that cranked the power to 500 horsepower,
making them a genuine 3-second 0-60 car. The Supercharger upgrade
was performed by Shelby American in Las Vegas and included engine
modifications to handle the extra compression and horsepower.
Additionally, it features a Serial number of 0009 making it one of
the first 10 cars built at the Shelby facility in Las Vegas.
Includes copies of the original title and full factory
documentation.
