Equipment
2.2/175hp turbo four, 5-speed, alloy wheels, Dunlop Direzza tires.
Condition
Showing 23,097 miles but for the most part looks like a car with a tenth of that. Clearly babied from new and has lots of documentation. There are a few small chips and scratches on the nose and hood, a few chips on the right side of the tail, and a scratch on the left side of it. Otherwise, this looks like a practically new Shelby Dodge. One of 500 built.
Market commentary
The Shelby name has a lot of cachet and this is a very good example, but this is still a ton of money for an old front-wheel drive Dodge hatchback and quite a bit more than prices for other examples recently. On the other hand its preservation is exceptional, as is the documentation, a car that deserves to be taken seriously and the Indy bidders responded. Besides that, how much less is it than the other ways to acquire a piece of Carroll''''''''s legacy?
