Looks like it is closer than most.

HI Cobra,
You are right! Anything under serial number 172 (I edited this as it used to say 171--further research from Ron Richards reminded me which car was Jeff's car) will have all original parts (unless they were later updated with our billet suspension parts--which many of the cars were!) KMP172 was the first car to get billet aluminum parts. It left with billet front upper control arms.
Nevertheless, the list is still quite small.
Of the 171 cars that had the original type suspension on them, around 100 were sold to Shelby. Some are now gone. Many, (I imagine around 20) had the suspensions updated to the billet stuff later in their life. At most, there might be 50 or so of our cars with the original type suspension, wiring, etc. out there. We still do make original spec cars, but they are pretty rare. (Even though we are delivering 5 of them in the next week or so.) But almost all of them are on their way to (or already in) Europe.
