AC (Brian Angliss) did make some chassis for Shelby but they the had one of their bi-annual falling outs and CS started screwing the chassis together here in the USA.
There are not and never were "left over chassis" from the original production run. Angliss was quoted as saying that CS wanted him to build some unpainted frames "and leave 'em outside so they rust up a bunch and look old" or words to that effect.
I have personally looked at the production logs at AC and there are no unfinished chassis or cars shipped to the USA that are not accounted for, i.e. the Daytona Coupe chassis, the Paramount chassis, etc.
Personally, I think CS used up his "Mulligan" on this claim and now must be held to the same standards that any other public business must be.....like you , know....Enron or Worldcom!
