I contacted the seller and asked how that could be possible, that a car over 50 numbers ahead of what had been delivered, could have been available. The response was that it was 4750, re-VINed. The reason? I have no idea. I verified it with a few people I knew, and the current owner posts on the Shelby forums.

I still have no idea why it was re-VINed. My guess would be that maybe it was stripped down and rebuilt, as the first bunch of CAV cars had some serious quality issues.

-So that would mean it was stripped, rebuilt and VIN'd by the original mfg?? -and a new MSO issued? Never hear of that with OEM's huh?
Thanks for your logic Sal-it does make sense.
