New to this forum and need some help

[Mdman352]

Hello. I recently bought a 1966 Shelby American with a 427.
My questions are:
1. The VIN has a CSX with 4 numbers, then a letter and 3 more numbers. What does the last letter and 3 numbers mean? What would be an approximate value of this car, assuming it is in good condition.
2. I need a radiator over flow tank for a '61-'64 Thunderbird. Anybody have a good source?
Thanks for any help.

Probably that it is not a Shelby American car.

Post the number or at least a pic or two for an accurate answer.

The VIN number is on a Shelby American "tag" on the right inside fender well. I do not have a clear picture at this time. I have found out that this frame was from Shelby and the glass body was one that Shelby "authorized" being built. VIN CSX3058R844. Thank you for your information.

Best source for overflow tanks IMO is eBay. Both new and used show up.
