clint78z Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I went to Vegas and saw the Imperial car musuem. I was fortunate enough to take some picture I thought might intrest you boys. It's the Shelby Z. I have to say it looks 1000 times than the pictures, the hood reminds me of the of Terry O's car. Very tasty here's the link http://www.geocities.com/clint78z/vegas/shelb1.jpg http://www.geocities.com/clint78z/vegas/shelb2.jpg http://www.geocities.com/clint78z/vegas/shelb3.jpg http://www.geocities.com/clint78z/vegas/shelb4.jpg Damn geocities is pissing me off, I know html and have done lot's of linking. There site is the biggest pain in the rear, I know they are under that directoy. If you cut and paste they work, I am at a loss why the url won't even link.

blueovalz Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I get "Page not Available" . If it's one of the old Daytona Coupes, then you're right. Photography does not do that car justice. I was in awe when I saw one in person for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ziggy Vulcan Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 D A M N!! That car is beautiful!! I love it!! The pictures look magnificent, and if they don't do it justice, that must REALLY be one fine automobile. How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cag4 Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 For some reason, clicking on the links doesn't work (at least in Internet Explorer), but cutting and pasting the link into the browser window works just fine. Thanks for the nice, high resolution images -- the car does indeed look great in person -- saw one at the SpeedWeek Festival here in San Diego last year (along with a bunch of other Shelby beauties... they are seductive). charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy one of these and let ReactionResearch pull some molds... we can all get in line to buy the "Shelby Series Z"! charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 they are sweet but not a daytona coupe or a z that is a shelby series 1, made I think 500 of them in 98-98 I think, they came only in a special ppg silver your only choice was what color stripes, they are way cool to see in person, carbon fiber hood with the daytona coupe rad passthrough, and even snake scales moulded into the underside of the hood with one peering cobra eye near the top, they had the olds aurora v8 and were sold through selected oldsmoble dealers each came with a certificate, signed numbered leather jacket, and a 2 day driving school near the shelby skunkworks in las vegas, first year of production they cost 80k second year they were 120k, I tried like hell to get my father to buy one, he just couldn't see 80k, and of course they jacked the price second year, I have yet to see one sell used for less than new cost, oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yep, Shelby S1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Z Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Yep, I walked around one of these for a while last year at a Hayward show. I love all his older cars but IMO the car body has too much ducting/slits/trim for my tastes. The interior closed the deal for me, Carol Shelby went crazy with his signature (on seats, dash, steering wheel, door panels, console, etc.). BTW, I'd love to have one of those ford cobra kits for my Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I was fortunate enough to actually work at Shelby between stints in the Navy about 2 years ago. I never had the chance to work on the series one cars, I was welding frames and exhausts for the 289 FIA cobras that Shelby also still produces. The Series one is definetly a bitchin ride, although I think for the money you'd be better off getting a Corvette ZO6. Many of the suspension and drivetrain components from the new corvettes are used in the series one. They also had problems with the carbon fiber body panels delaminating after a while. Paint was also an issue, although they worked very hard and eventually fixed that problem. For the most part the cars were only available in silver with or without red or blue stripes. They had a few that were jet black though, which was really a good color on them. Eventually they had to lay off about 50% of the workforce though, because nobody was buying the series one cars (which had gone up to about $175,00 by then) And I ended up coming back in the Navy again. Still, definetly the coolest job I ever had. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
