CS means Creepiest Shelby?

Today we’ll feature what we consider two of  the least likely Shelby products.

Exhibit A is the Shelby Ram Van by Safari. White with blue stripes screams Shelby already, but plenty of logos have been added to make it very clear that this has something to do with the man.  Given this is a van, there’s not a ton of performance potential, but the seller does mention that this one comes with the 360, which was the largest available V8 at the time.  These were license deals and Shelby’s company didn’t touch them, but they’re still a bit fascinating and undeniably odd.

This beast from 1989 is in decent enough shape and it

Did we mention that this is fuel injected??

The Cap’n’s chairs look reasonably sporty and have Shelby logos.  We didn’t include an image, but the rear bench is also labeled.

Shelby wheel is cool, but does it fit the van?

This adds at least $3.78 to the value.

1989 Carroll Shelby 2500 Ram Van #30

A two owner van bought new at Carl Burger Dodge in La Mesa, Ca. Completely original with all Shelby accesories, original paint and wheels. This van is #30 out of an estimated 100 built by Safari a van conversion company in Commerce Ca.
The vans were white with blue stripes that wrapped around the entire vehicle. Special graphics included Shelby decals on the lower side panels and Fuel Injection on the front fenders. A Shelby medallion was displayed on the lower corner of the hood and wheel center caps. The rear door mounted spare tire had a large C/S logo on the cover. The interior included a leather wrapped Shelby signature steering wheel, Shelby logo embroidered on the captain chairs and a Shelby “Limited Production” numbered dash plaque.    
  The van runs and drives down the road very nice with no drama. The 5.9L 360ci feels strong and the transmission shifts as it should. The front tires are approximately 50% tread, the rear tires are in need of replacement. The only rust on the van is located on the rear corner drip rail. The power windows and locks are operational and the A/C blows cold. Clean CA title and currently registered. This van is 24 years old and showing its age but overall a very nice, original and rare vehicle.
