5k: Red Headed Step Sister: 1987 Shelby CSX-T, Thrifty Rental


Many years ago Carroll Shelby partnered with Hertz Rent-A-Car to provide Shelby Mustangs for the rental market.  The cars were returned to Shelby and he sold them to the public for cheap because nobody wanted an ex-rental car.  Today, the Hertz GT350H is a high dollar collectible sought after by Shelby fans and command six figure prices from sites like Hemmings.com.  However, many years later Papa Shelby had relations with another rental company and spawned a Chrysler front wheel drive hot rod called the CSX-T which today are 100th the cost of a Hertztang.  Find this 1987 Shelby CSX-T Thrifty Rental car for sale in Henderson, NV currently bidding at $750 with 1 day to go via ebay (and on craigslist for $2k).  (This article was featured on the front page of Jalopnik.com via kinja)
