Does that mean it's a continuation car?
Paul...CSX4289 (alum) is a current production car from SA, sold thru one of their dealers.
The alum body and frame are current manufactured items, made by Kirkham Motorsports.

This is a standard up-to-date car. The engine may indeed be a sixties-vintage block, like so many of us have used for 'authenticity'..

...that may be where the 'story' you were told about the car came from... nothing about the body or chassis is from 1965.
It's from Poland! ..and probably made in the last year or two.

Bottom line.. it is a top-notch replica made by Shelby.
...but it can't be called 'original'...and that's where the local heat here has been coming from.

Good luck in selling it.... post some pics
