Not a dumb question, I was dumbfounded at first as well.
When I had 4819 on order, and guys like Jdog and such (with 4795) still hadn't gotten their cars, CSX 4855 popped up for sale on ebay. I contacted the seller and asked how that could be possible, that a car over 50 numbers ahead of what had been delivered, could have been available. The response was that it was 4750, re-VINed. The reason? I have no idea. I verified it with a few people I knew, and the current owner posts on the Shelby forums.
I still have no idea why it was re-VINed. My guess would be that maybe it was stripped down and rebuilt, as the first bunch of CAV cars had some serious quality issues.
