You may be right, but I can't seem to find anything to verify your information as accurate.

Let me start by noting that Computerworks (Ron) has identified CSX3178 -- a car that Carroll Shelby has owned since new -- as being the basis for the CSX4000-series cars from HST Automotive.

But when you think about it, there is no easy answer to the question, "which CSX was used as the basis for the Shelby American continuation cars?", as the company offers several different models and has used several different suppliers.

As Kirkham supplies the ally-bodied continuation cars, isn't it safe to say that those cars are also based on CSX3104? But what about the CSX1000 cars from AC Cars in the Lubinsky era, or the CSX7000 and CSX8000 cars? And did they use different cars for the fibreglass vs aluminum bodied versions?

So I checked the SAAC registry to see if I could find anything to support your assertion that CSX3057 was used for the CSX4000-series cars, but I couldn't find anything either way.

CSX4000 'glass car production started in late 1996 and HST only started supplying cars in 2003, so I suppose it's possible that CSX3057 was used to create the molds for the early cars. Could be why it wasn't finished until 1998.

In the end, we might need to ask the SAAC Registrar to help clear this mystery up.
