Not sure there really are too many more. Anyone else? You will have to be pre KMP0175 or so and Kirkham sold many of the first 175 cars to Shelby. In actuality, there are very, very, very few accurate cars. From what I remember, Shelby changed their cars very early on with welded uprights and other changes. I doubt there are many Shelby's that are absolutely accurate to original either. I would like to know, however, when Shelby actually changed things in their production. Maybe someone from Shelby could chime in and help???
