What was stated before, a dealer, Lee Benson, All Pro, has purchased, or has a contract to purchase, 10 CSX7000 cars from shelby. They are the fiberglass versions, as that chassis (with the backbone bracing) is the "true" coupe chassis. The aluminum CSX7000 cars, Kirkham made frames & bodies, don't have that extra bracing, as the FIA cars did not have them, only the coupes. I believe Lee has Shelby's blessing to take these 10 CSX7000 cars (chassis's), with their serial numbers, and build coupes out of them, selling them as genuine Shelby Daytona Coupes.


Interested in one?
