Here is a rare and unique Shelby GT500. It has only 7k original miles. The car was sold new right here in central Florida. Upon delivery the first owner installed the 427 tunnelport engine. For the most part the car is as it was in 1970. It is mostly original paint, the rear wheel lips were opened up a little so it could run on drag tires. The 2 rear quarters has been spotted in as well as the hood being painted. All this work and modifications were done back in 1970. This car was on the front cover of Super Ford in 1987 August issue. The article inside is titled “Born to be Wild” by Dr. John Craft. The car is not only listed in the Shelby Registry, it was pictured on the front of the Shelby Registry book jacket. The Vintage Mustang Airplane in the background of the photo belongs to Johning Bolton, who owned Johning Bolton Ford, where the car was originally sold. We purchased the car from Mark Fischer who has owned the car twice. He first owned the car back in 1973 when he purchased it from the original owner who had the modifications done. He had the car until 1984 then the car ended up in Matt Johnson’s hand, the owner of Super Ford Performance. He had the car for approximately 18 years. If you were around Shelby’s in the 70’s and 80’s and lived in Florida you’ll know that this Shelby was an icon. Carroll Shelby even presented the 1st place trophy in 1975 at the Summer National in Wichita, Kansas. He told Mark that he was using the car as he intended them to be used.

Here is a rare supercharged Shelby Series 1 with a ¼ mile time of 11.35 seconds @124 MPH and a 0-60 time of only 3.2 seconds which makes it one of the fastest production car of its day. It is one of the most significant cars Carroll Shelby had ever produced. It is a modern day version of the legendary 427 AC Cobra of the 60’s. With its all-aluminum high strength chassis, a carbon fiber body, a 50/50 weigh ratio, and a total weight of only 2,700 pounds, it was designed by Carrol Shelby as a race car for street use. It also has A/C, power windows, and an AM/FM CD stereo which are some modern day comfort features that most of us can’t live without. You can drive the Shelby Series 1 or you can unleash it by simply stepping on the accelerator pedal and live the dream of a legend (Carrol Shelby). The 427 AC Cobra of the 60’s once sold for $6,000.00 and now can fetch over $1,000,000.00. The Shelby Series 1 was built by the same legendary Carroll Shelby. It is in every way better and faster. With less than 300 cars built and only about 80 of them were supercharged, who really knows what its investment potential will be, only time will tell. But I’m pretty sure they will follow in the paths of all the other beloved limited production supercars. Meanwhile, the Series 1 will be a lot of fun while you wait. Each car has a Shelby serial number just like back in the ‘60’s. All Series 1 are in the CSX 5000 series. This is car # CSX5276. For more information on this remarkable car you can call Don at Vantage Sportscars 407-298-5010 or on his cell 407-497-2122.
