Not to be confused with the Classic or Shell Mark-5.
The Shell Classic is a unobtainable safe-exclusive vehicle in Jailbreak. Modeled by oof_ed,[1] it was only available in Tier 5/Legendary safes, which could be bought for 
100,000. Being of Legendary rarity, players had a 3% chance of getting either this, the Tesla Spoiler or the Tesseract Rims.
The Shell Classic was removed from Tier 5 safes as part of the Fall 2024 & Season 23 Update with the Legendary safe revamp.[2]
Overview
The Shell Classic is a vintage roadster. According to oof_ed, it is based off the Shelby Cobra 427.[3] The vehicle has an open top, stripes running down the car, and side-mounted exhaust pipes.
Performance
The Shell Classic has good performance, beating out the La Matador in most ways and being on the level of most mid-tier supercars, and its good clearance makes it less likely to fling on roads than other supercars.
Due to its 1% chance to be awarded from Legendary safes, the Shell Classic costed around 10,000,000 (the cost of 100 Legendary safes) on average. As such, it was not advised to target this vehicle for its performance, as the average cost to performance ratio is very low in comparison to most other vehicles of its tier at the time.
