I had the same issue when shopping for a 289 FIA car. Seems both Superformance and Shelby American use the same 289 FIA body that is sadly inaccurate. A real shame as I wanted the period correct transverse spring chassis.

The early Shelby CSX7000 cars had a wider 427 rear body, but not sure how many of those were made before changing over to the current version.

I ended up going with the more accurate ERA FIA that pulled measurements directly off CSX2345.

Cheers
