Does anyone know for sure exactly how many of the 2000 series 289 cars were converted to the FIA "cut back door" style.

Gary... the "cut-back door" was a feature of the FIA cars, as well as some, but not all, of the later race 289's.

Just for your stats, the Registry indicates that:

1. There were 33 CSX2000 Factory Team cars, of which..

-3 were Sebring config
-2 were Lemans config
-3 were Lemans replicas
-2 were 427 protos
-5 were FIA roadsters
-6 were USRRC roadsters
-6 were Coupes

2. There were 12 Factory-prepped Comp CSX2000's, sold to individuals, of which:

-1 was a Riverside replica
-1 was a Lemans proto
-3 were Lemans replicas
-5 were USRRC roadsters, built also for SCCA A/P
