Yes, in December 2005 Shelby contracted Superformance to start building CSX chassis starting with CSX 4825.

In August 2003 at the Laguna Seca races, Shelby introduced his idea for glass CSX chassis (starting w/CSX4750) at the introductory price of $39,999. CAV in South Africa was contracted to build these chassis and went bankrupt in early 2004 after producing less than a dozen.

In late 2004, the HST Corporation was contracted to build CSX chassis in Tijuana, Mexico at their carbon fiber manufacturing facility. This facility was currently producing archery arrows and bicycle racing rims.

In true Shelby spirit, orders continued to come in and Shelby used customer’s money to fund the manufacturing process. The chassis price increased to $42,999. However, with the Mexico plant low on capital, parts were slow to arrive and only one chassis a week was rolling off the line. By June 2005, less than 50 chassis had been delivered. This caused Shelby to tap Superformce to build his CSX chassis in December 2005. Both HST and Superformance continue to build CSX chassis today.

The first Superformance built chassis (CSX4825) was delivered in August 2006. The Superformance built CSX chassis are all built to Shelby original specs. The body mold, frame, steering, brakes, and gauges (to name a few) for the Superformance badged chassis are not the same as the CSX chassis.
