Forgot about the carbon fiber (is that what you are talking about?) I thought HST also built those, but I did hear something about a possible 3rd vendor, but didn't sound definite when I heard it.

Oh, on the VINs, as I heard it Shelby issued all of the VINs back in the 60s (or at least said he did) and then told DOT that the cars had been work-in-progress since 1968 and somehow got them to buy off on it. So they all have a legal 1965 MSO, but have to be sold as compontent rollers to avoid having to meet modern safety and emission standards. They use the same body molds and an updated version of the same frame.
