I wondered if it was fabricated at SAI or was outsourced and the various parts delivered to SAI for assembly.
I know that due to quality control issues, the entire car was returned to SAI and rebodied and painted in LV. I don't know where the chassis came from and that was the essence of my question.

4758 SHOULD have been originally built in SA at CAV. If the car had to be rebuilt at Shelby for whatever reason, that I don't know. Most of the quality issues with the CAV cars were mainly paint and finish related, so it's very possible Shelby may have taken the body off and just redid the car.
One big thing people didn't like on the CAV cars was that they painted the back sides of the hood, trunk and doors with wrinkle bedliner.
