Description:

This is a modern day Cobra designed, engineered and built by the Legendary Carroll Shelby.Back in the mid 1990's Carroll Shelby set out to do something he had never done before which was to design, engineer and build his own car.All other Shelby's are re-engineered models produced by other manufacturers and modified by Carroll Shelby.He later found out that building a low production vehicle was very expensive.There were only 249 of these vehicles built.His cost for building these vehicles exceeded $150, 000 . This particular car sold for over $175, 000 when new.
