You say New Aluminum Block delivered in a New Aluminum Car as an original 4000. First, that can't come like that from Shelby because they only sell rollers. Now you are talking about getting it from an independant Shelby dealer whose list grows and shrinks all the time and some of the irregularities cannot be blamed on Shelby American.

Pssst. What about the first group of 4000 cars that were finished;
1-in fiberglass because aluminum wasn't available yet
2-no aluminum block was available either.

Did you forget the mule car CSX 4000 was fiberglass with an iron original 427? Isn't that an original 4000 car?

When I built 4027, I turned away a good 289 at $95,000
That same car is over $175,000 today. I don't think it is going down from here. They can't make any more of them. The 4000's they can make until they get to 6999. Thats a lot of cars to appreciate.
