Market commentary
Most of the 999 Hertz Shelbys were automatics thanks to the tendency of enthusiastic renters to return the early 4 speed cars with worn out clutches. Cars with manuals like this one were tempting to bring to the track back at a time when a street car with minimal safety equipment could be driven straight off the access road, into the paddock and onto the track. This is still a streetable car, though, and could have brought 20 grand more and still been a good value. Historians note the missed opportunity: in 2002 it crossed the block at the Kruse eBay Scottsdale auction with 8,798 miles (12,136 today) with a high bid of $28,000
