These are the "completion" cars, above CSX3058. Taking the unused Comp s/n's from the 60's, Shelby began re-making 427S/Cs in the early 90's and assigning those numbers...selling each car for $500k. This was a time when original values were climbing rapidly.

Tangled story with CA DMV, etc. that has been retold many times. (and is recounted in detail in the SAAC World Registry).
....net effect though is that only a handful were made and the car is designated "not for highway use" in CA.

They have value...somewhere between the current CSX replicas and the real deals. If nothing else, they are outstanding hand-made aluminum replicas crafted by Mike McCluskey.
