As far as replicas go, there was the interesting Johnex 427 Coupe; supposedly based upon drawings of a never-released big block coupe variation. There was some controversy about it being misrepresented as a Super Coupe replica while actually being based more on the Willment design.

At first I thought it might be a replica of 2286 in its original 3" stretch version,,, but in the 'Shelbys Wildlife' book there is mention of a partially completed second FE engined car that was still in the UK & might have had links with Alan Mann etc... could this be the car that inspired this Johnex car?

I seem to remember seeing a picture of an unfinished coupe here that was in Larry Miller's collection or maybe at the Shelby American Collection. |

I found a pic in an old post from 2002 of the Ohlsen Coupe, it was apparently given a CSX #2603, but there is now some dispute over this...
Type ..CSX 2603.. in the seach window & the thread comes up...its the only one & has 12 posts... pic title is ..'my unfinished coupe'..
