1998 Panoz AIV Roadster<\/a> – sold for $49,500<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

This 1998 Panoz AIV Roadster is just one of 176 produced in the entirety of the AIV’s 3-year lifespan (72 were made in 1998). The AIV Roadster was ahead of its time with an exotic all-aluminum spaceframe chassis giving the car an incredible power-to-weight ratio, with a feather light 2,570lb curb weight being motivated by a hand-built, all-aluminum 4-cam SVT Cobra V8 cranking out 305hp. This AIV roadster is finished in red over black leather, with 14,733 original miles. The AIV roadster sprints to 60mph in just 4.3 seconds and delivers a modern Cobra feel in a more unique package. Other features include leather interior with carbon fiber trim, premium JBL audio system, white instrument dials, leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, 18″ chrome Roush 5-spoke wheels, coilover suspension and Mustang Cobra brakes. Included with the purchase are the original owner’s manuals and folio and a spotless CarFax report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
