I have never heard of the serial number with the 1 at the end, but I do know for a fact that Brian built several cars using CSX3000 numbers. He did this basically as a slap to Carroll for the bogus frame deal, in which AC had the rights to use those numbers, not Carroll. So there actually are a few double VIN cars, each one legit. Some sold through Shelby, and some sold through AC. I have never heard the fake 3060 was an Angliss car though.
