I know that in 89 there were some continuation cars built could this be one of them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mike
Continuation cars started in 96, and have CSX4XXX VINs. It could still be a 4000 car if that VIN is one that was state issued when it was registered. But honestly, it's probably just a replica with a Shelby VIN plate on it that you can buy anywhere.

Post some pics and we'll let you know. Try to get some underhood shots.
