I did drive Shelby's continuation car when I first visited the small Las Vegas facility in the beginning. McClusky did make it as per original and the seats did sit me way down in the car as opposed to on the car. When I started to sit in other 4000 cars I noticed I sat way up in the car. I found the original seat bottoms were designed different than they are now and used horse hair in the cushion. The new rubber bladder and foam are not good at letting you sink in to the car so I had my 4000 seat custom made. The production 4000 seat sat too high.
