The Series 1 has an Oldsmobile Aurora engine, 4.0 liter if memory serves correctly. I used to see them all the time at Shelby's Las Vegas operation by the racetrack. Sadly, they never drew a crowd or attracted much interest. The emphasis was on sophisticated handling, not brute power like the Cobra (another way of saying underpowered?) I hope the sale price is a real bargain. I'm not sure it will be collectible when your grandchildren are retired, much less now.
