Reason for no more series 1 has to do with meeting DOT approval on safety standards.

I read some info. a while back from Shelby American that they would have to spend millions to make the Series 1 up to the crash standards required. They were given a three year or so exemption but must have all the cars done after that time.

This has been a couple years ago. SA has had previous money problems prior to the new Shelby International and now new dealings with Ford.

Also, the car took longer than expected to complete, hense the cars were given the year of '99 for completion even though done after that. Price overruns and other matters came up.

I think they look nice, but a Olds motor just doesn't do anything for me. Oh, where is Olds now........?!!!
