None of the drag cars were returned to Shelby for modification, but at least one street car was sent back to be converted into a road-race example, and that was CSX 2290. Following its rebuild, it was successfully raced by its owner(s) independent of the factory. And because the work was performed at the factory, it is considered a legitimate "factory-built" comp car, classified further as an "independent comp" since the factory itself did not race it. This car sold at a 2012 Monterey auction for $1.2 million.
