Shelby CSX Aluminum Cont. --Wait Time

[Excaliber]

Serious question:

When was the LAST alloy Shelby actually produced?

Kirkham stopped shipping bodies, at least for awhile. Last I heard they MIGHT be supplying them once again. Can anyone confirm the current (assuming it IS current) alloy body source?

Sal...you're correct...moving thread to SA forum.

Rob..I think you might find that, typically, forum users rely on e-mail far more than representatives of various manufacturers...
advice: ...just pick up the phone.

Kirkham no longer supplies SAI...maybe SAI has a couple of their bodies in the pipeline or left over but I doubt it by now. Who knows what all the facts are, but based on what I've been told, Kirkham could not count on SAI living up to their end of the bargain...which in part was to pay the vendor (Kirkham) on time (if at all!). My understanding is that the aluminum Shelby bodies are now hecho in Mexico and the fiberglass units come from the US and SP in South Africa. All second and third-hand information, so not warranted to be accurate. Despite all this, I still hanker for a Shelby "almost the real thing" continuation.

I don't know the answer to your first question but I hope that car has not been built yet.

KMS shipped SAI an aluminum body chassis unit last month.

We currently have a few 427 "Shelby configuration" bodies in stock now. So the lead time should be short.
