Here's An Interesting CSX4000 (or is it)?

[Allan A]

Funny how this car pops up, I was the one who ordered it with two others. The ad is incorrect:

In 2004 we [i.e., Kirkham Motorsports] first sold the rolling chassis to Shelby, who built it up with their parts and components into a standard Shelby roller.

Car was just chassis and body, I am sure there is much more BS but I dont have the time to read it.

Allan just reading your signature. someone pointed out to me CSX7049 how does that compare to the one you listed?

Thank you for finding the typo (the sentence doesn't make sense as written--the roller couldn't be built up with Shelby parts if we delivered it as a roller). We have contacted Curt Scott to clarify the ad. This frame and body was delivered to Shelby as a frame and body only.

Just for clarification: we sold two rollers to Carroll Shelby personally. We have never sold a roller to the company Shelby American.

So Carroll owned 2 Kirkhams. I wonder if at some point in time he changed the serial numbers to make them csx4000 cars or if they still have their Kirkham serial numbers.

Kirkham never supplied a roller to the Shelby American company, but he personally purchased two Kirkham rollers. That speaks volumes in it of itself.

Even The Man preferred Kirkham over CSX's or he was too frugal to pay the CSX premium for a less desirable Cobra.

Sure, that's what that means. he preferred a Kirkham over his own CSX's.

In a humorous tone (see ROTFL emoticon), I made a or one logical conclusion and/or inference from the fact that Carroll Shelby had his own Cobra manufacturing company (SAI) and decided to buy two rollers from another Cobra manufacturer with his own personal money. Why would CS need two MORE Cobras in his empire that weren't his own?

I agree with you!
