3047 hasn't had a shunt and has 90% of it's 1966Shelby factory paint after the de-paint.
I am not aware of another S/C with any original Shelby factory paint.
Besides that, the original oil cooler, diff cooler and original vinyl seats to mention a few, are pretty amazing.
My personal definition of original is what the car currently has that it was born with as opposed to what it was repaired or restored with.
3047 was never restored. Just maintained to continue to run which it did up until a few years ago. I drove it from Maryland to New Jersey and it didn't miss a beat.
Steve, I have seen several posts from others who've seen 3047 after the depaint. Can you share any of those pics (publically or privately)? I have sent you a few e-mails in the recent past that have gone unresponded.
