I think if it can really be proven that it is chassis #CSX3063,which means it was made by AC Ltd under contract for Shelby American,designed by Ford for Shelby American. I think you have to say it is a Real 1964 or 1965 (whatever it would be)Shelby!! Remember CXS the X was experimental that would make this a Shelby 427 that was experimented on with a body change. Its value will not be as high as well documented from the factory Shelby 427SC but it is a real Shelby 427 and can rightfully claim the Shelby magic and value. If it can be proven it is #CXS3063 and that is a big if???

The 'X' in CSX or COX or AEX or BEX etc used by AC Cars stands for 'export', not experimental.

The " X " seems to depend on which book you read. Like a lot of things from the 60's it's a gray area.

Nope, not gray at all. You can review it in the SAAC Cobra Registry and the ACOC Registry.

You may be thinking about the present day terminology used by SA for their "CSX" cars.
