I own one of the early CSX1000 cars where the body was hand hammered by AC on some of the original wooden bucks before the deal between Shelby and AC fell apart. The cars were shipped to Shelby from england to be finished. Took way more than two years from the time the cars were ordered. I think only the first 14 of the 1000 series had hand hammered aluminum bodes by AC.

I paid well north of 300K for my car because of its rarity and quality. Also because Carroll was directly involved with making the 1000 cars happen, keeping them true to the original heritage even wearing AC Cobra badging on the nose.

In my opinion, the Aluminum 4000 cars built in the living years are approaching the 200K mark, maybe not yet but soon.
