5 Attachment(s)
Just wanted to share some photos of the new Shelby CSX8000 Anniversary Edition as it arrived at Hillbank before it is shipped off to Vegas for "finalizing"...
If you are interested in any more information about this vehicle, or any of the new 7000/8000 series car, please PM me!

Is it still in Irvine? I would like to see it. What type of engine build is planned? I ordered an aluminum car and i'm putting a 1962 260 matching numbers engine and transmission into the car.

I'm curious...what would constitute a "matching numbers" drivetrain in a replica? |

Congrats on your purchase. I have`nt heard of anyone else fitting a 260 and T10. What carb?
Whats the csx number (of your replica?)

That there is some funny you know what. :LOL:
I think Evan is knocking at the door, one moment please. :p
Unless it's an early CSX2000, I'm not sure I see the point, but that's why they make 31 flavors of ice cream. |

clock
Hi Larry,
I would have placed money on you asking this after the clock posting!
The clock we use is the autometer 201-019
Because of quantities reqd, availability is important and as it is a 8000 series, not a 2000 it becomes one of the many little things that differ to make them recognizable
How is your build going? Post or mail me a pic or two.
Regards
Ross

LOL! I have a clock fetish!
My build is coming along albeit slowly. I'll email a couple pics.

Hey Mark that will be sweet having date coded parts in one of these. The originals had motor numbers stamped in the tag below the CSX #. That will be nice to stamp into yours. We did that with the 6000 I put together and matched the Shelby engine number as close as we could to the CSX #.
