The X1 is not included in the open GT40 Mk.I count because..
it was a big block. So you could call it a Mk.II, As far as I know it was pitched into a hole within a few miles of Shelby's LAX plant, and one former Shelby mechanic was there, and had some small pieces as keepsakes. I think modern methods could find it.
Anybody know who did Tom Congleton bought his open car from and was it a bargain back then? It's a pity Jeffries got on that Indy car engine kick--that took up 25 years of getting his back on the road, and I don't know if it was street drivable when he died. Leaving in the 289 pushrod would have made it drivable much earlier,
