CSX4859

I am the new owner of CSX 4859.  I have most of the build info except any information about the engine.

I was hoping that someone could help in providing the missing details about this car.

I did contact Shelby American and they did provide the information that they had, except any details about the engine


Thank you.

Your only hope is to track it back through the previous owners to see what changes were done. Your best bet will lie with finding whoever did the original assembly work. When the continuation cars started it was illegal for SA to produce a turn key car that did not meet current safety and emissions laws. So there was a process where SA built the roller and then it was sent to a final assembler to install the drive train. Sometimes these "assemblers" were next door and only separate on the paperwork. In 2015 the feds created a law allowing a manufacturer to build up to 325 cars per year that replicated a 25+ year old car.

Thank you,  I am aware of everything you mentioned.  The builder was Finish Line Motorsports in Las Vegas. who appears to be out of business.

I have the build sheet from Shelby.  I was more interested in the engine details

Are there any identification numbers on the engine? It may have been built by the Shelby engine company, and they would have a record of it..

Part of Finish Line Racing. Owner was Roy Hunt. Maybe he's still in the Vegas area.

Did you buy it from Hillbank?

I would have to assume they may have records in their files that they did not forward with the car.

I am thinking the poster was under the impression the Shelby Club kept records.

Not at all. I have noted that in other posts a member named BILL has been a great resource in providing information about other 4000 series cars.

I did not purchase it from Hillbank.  I will reach out to them to see if they have any information about the car.

Thank you
