Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

On the topic of Mexico vs South Africa cars, does anyone know the csx number or year they changed? Mine was finished in 2008 but roller was likely 2007 built(csx4910) I recently saw ad ad for sale of csx4911 but it wasn't finished until 2012, 4 years after mine and it got me wondering how to tell South Africa build vs Mexico for the fiberglass body
Thanks

I don't know the specifics as to those Shelbys. You can call HRE and speak to Bill Andrews. He is very familiar the Continuation Shelbys and their history and variations. 1 516 378 5461.

I don't know that the HST vs HiTech build was indicated on the car. I'm sure that SAI would have the info if you wanted to know.

I was trying to find my posts for when they went out of business. I was in Vegas with my car and the clutch was leaking badly. I went over to SAI and Gary Patterson and I talked with Jean Jaime about which supplier they used for the cylinders and that was in Sept 2010. So I think they ceased operation in the first half of 2011.

It was September 2010. My partially completed.vehicle was brought to Las Vegas when Shelby seized all their assets from HST. Sometime on October Shelby decided they couldn't finish my car and we ordered another from HiTech.
