All, thanks for the info.

CSX7000 series is configured just as the original Shelby 289FIA small block was configured, meaning leaf-spring suspension and 3" tube frame (not absolutely sure on the frame piece). Kirkham version of 289FIA has an independent suspension as standard, but can get the leaf-spring suspension (kind of a step backward) for about $15k as I recall.

Of note, SAI has not really built that many CSX7000 series from what my friend Bill (Auto Cars Direct) tells me (think it was somewhere south of 60 total).

Roughly about a $15k base delta between CSX4000 and a CSX7000 series.

Again, thanks for your thoughts.

Bob
