FWIW, the Shelby Autos web site describes the 4000, 7000, 8000,series as component vehicles not continuation vehicles.

Most likely to deal with the federal safety and emission requirements for new cars.

"Component Vehicle" is a legal classification used in titling processes so that it (although new) does not have to qualify under current safety and emissions standards. All new Cobras real or replica are component vehicles.

Were there ever any chassis that now carry a CSX 4xxx serial number that were fabricated entirely in the Shelby Cobra shop in Las Vegas.

I seem to recall on a visit in 2000 Gary Patterson showing my wife and I several chassis on stands in various states of assembly.....meaning not completely welded up with all the supports and structure.

Absolutely. From the start, all the 'glas cars were made in house, frames and all... by some top-notch guys.

At least the first few hundred numbers...
