You're right. Somewhere between one and two handfuls, but not on to toes yet Mine was one of the first, and in fact, the first two were two of the CSX4000LA cars.

Did HST ever put the very first (yellow w/ carbon fiber stripes) on a chassis and sell it? I remember that body was really, really heavy! I almost bought the second carbon fiber bodied car, but at that time, Shelby couldn't decide what they were going to charge for it. So I passed on it!

Actually, I hope not. I don't like exposed carbon fiber. It's a fine material but I never understood why everyone thinks has to be exposed and out in the open like the plaid upholstery on the couch.

And as much as I like Kirkhams, the care and feeding of naked aluminum is as much an OCD task as black paint on my Mustangs. Mine would be painted Guardsman Blue.

My new Ford GT is Heritage. Did anyone ever do a Gulf blue and orange Cobra?

I transported CSX4503 some years ago. It was a black car with exposed carbon fiber stripes and I just transported CSX4507 which is an all black carbon fiber car. Both were very nice cars!
