flgearhead,
We are currently no longer making the leaf spring 289 FIA cars. The damand for the 427 chassis 289 cars has been too great and the demand for the normal 427 cars has just been too great as well.
We will still make the car on special orders though. Special orders usually take 4-8 months--depending upon when the order is placed.
We are still making the cars for Shelby and they still buy them from us.
I do not know how much Shelby is selling their cars for. I would call Bob Marsh. He is a really nice, straight-shooting, guy. We certainly wish him well.
