Description

Few names in automotive history carry the weight of Carroll Shelby. After creating legends like the Cobra and transforming the Mustang into a performance icon with the GT350 and GT500, Shelby set out to build something entirely his own. The result was the Shelby Series 1, the only production automobile designed from the ground up under Carroll Shelby's direction and the ultimate expression of his vision for a modern American sports car.

Finished in striking Silver Metallic with Blue Le Mans Racing Stripes, this 1999 Shelby Series 1 is an exceptional example showing just 1,728 original miles. Beneath its sculpted composite bodywork is a lightweight aluminum chassis, race-inspired independent suspension, and a Shelby-developed 4.0L DOHC Aurora V8 producing 320 horsepower, paired with a six-speed ZF manual transaxle. The result is a pure, analog driving experience that delivers the performance and engagement enthusiasts expect from the Shelby name.

Built in a limited production run of only 249 examples, the Series 1 represents one of the most significant modern chapters in Carroll Shelby's legendary career. Unlike the Cobra and Mustang-based Shelby models that came before it, the Series 1 was not an adaptation of an existing vehicle. It was Shelby's opportunity to create a purpose-built performance car that combined advanced engineering, lightweight construction, and unmistakable styling.

With its iconic color combination, extremely low mileage, and historical significance, this Shelby Series 1 is far more than a rare collectible. It represents Carroll Shelby's final vision of a modern American sports car and offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinctive and important Shelby automobiles ever produced.
