The repainting of CSX2000 turns out to be a myth, Carrol claiming Dean stripped it each time. When CSX2000 came up for auction, the photographers went crazy. One of the things they photographed were the paint chips, and one can see, only the three colors were ever on the car. In reverse order, the blue we see now, candy yellow by Dean, (some say they see a second yellow, because the candy did not stand up to the California sun?) Then the original brushed aluminum, (or is that aluminium?) the color it was in the first article, Sports Car Graphic, with Shelby hand lettered by John Christy. That's all, there are no more colors! Not sure why he exaggerated the number of paint jobs, he had more orders then he could handle after the New York show. Cheers, Dennis
