CSX2000---but I would get rid of the metal flake blue and paint it one of it's (many) other "original" colors. I just saw CSX2000 while in Las Vegas last week, and next to it was a beautiful black slabside with wire wheels and red leather interior (6000 Series). Quite lovely!

Cheers,
DD

Beat me to it. The question about what to do with CSX2000 to "restore" it has always perplexed me. Which color would you use?

Best to just leave it alone, I'm sure.

It was a pearl yellow at the NY Auto Show....BUT, as you pointed out....it would be best to leave it as Shelby left it.... next for me would be one of the first FIA Team Cars, the only year Hisself raced them in Europe....CSX2323 Viking Blue (red nose bar) car Gurney/Grant raced in the Targa in 1964...Last time I saw it was at Bruce's place in Scotts Valley a few years ago...

After thinking about it, CSX2323, would be my first choice. You beat me to it. It I recall, it was on consignment at Canepa and the initial asking price was $6M.
