Not sure where this car fits but in my view it deserves some attention.  I bought AK2003 which is one of the last cars produced by Brian Angliss when he owned AC Cars, Ltd.  This is a well built car in aluminum with a late model Mustang GT fuel injected engine.  Runs like a top and might be one of the lower mileage examples out there.  It had 962 miles when it showed up at my house on Monday. 

Thanks for all the comments and they were helpful.  At least I was not dense on why I could not find the car on here.  I guess my goal of having a complete Shelby collection (except a 65 GT 350) may not include a Shelby Series I even though this one is red.  Frankly, I never was looking for one of these until this one showed up in red and I only collect red cars (i.e. why no 65 GT350).  But at $182K I probably should focus on something else.

It is possible that I am dense and that my ineptitude if why I just can't find it but are the Series 1 cars on our website anywhere?  This one has the last VIN NO. XXXX255 and a CSX in the 5000's.  Although I am still trying to decide if I think the car is ugly I am still considering adding one of those to my Shelby collection (66, 67, 69) so that is why I wanted to reach out to the registrar team.  Frankly, I really wanted to know if there is any history on this particular car --- Google has not been my friend on this one.  Thanks for your help.

KK1658 won first in class in a pretty strong field that included a 1970 hemi Superbird and a 1970 Buick GS. 

This car just showed up on BAT.  Looks like a nice car and while some of the things are not exactly right it is all out there in the open.https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-ford-mustang-boss-429-14/

It looks like this car went to a buyer and I wish him/her good luck.

I agree with all of the advice here on how the car is overpriced and would be a pain to sell.  This car already went no sale on PCA Market and the Seller/Dealer/Consignor and since then has been advertising it on its website for over a year.  This dealer has had some interesting cars in the past and I watch his site (since it is here in Houston) with some regularity.   

To be clear, I was considering the car for what it is because CSX3063 is nothing more than a replica.  It never was sold through Shelby and has no real history.  The stamp on the frame looks fake to even me but I am no expert.  I have read all of the public discussion on this car.  Nevertheless, the car is a nice replica and if the seller was realistic I still probably would have bought it. 

I know this is crazy but my thoughts were if I could have gotten the car for about $400K I know it would be an insane amount of money to pay for a replica but it still has a fun story and looks the part.  When the parts from which this car was recreated were owned by Forristall here in Houston I remember seeing them in his shop.  But, in hindsight, I am glad that the seller rejected my offer because something else better will come available.

Update on this car.  I made a serious offer and the seller is sticking for what must be a very high 6 figure offer.  So CSX3063 will not be mine -- I am probably better off.  If any of you know of any Cobra's for sale I am always in the market.

The car was never sold through Shelby, never spent a minute at LAX, and I doubt that the "CSX3063" was engraved in the 1960's but it is, for sure, a really nice replica with some fun stories.  The car has been for sale for a long time and is a consignment car.  But if they really want $1.25MM (or anywhere close) it ain't coming from me.  I think the price should be about where the bids stopped on PCarmarket.

You can't buy that.  It's not red!!

Paint is cheap.

Owned by a buddy of mine here in Houston.

This car has been much discussed, debated and critiqued but I may still bid on it just because it is a nice replica.  What do you think?

Ok, now for my dumb question.  What is the process for removing the springs.  I am going to try taking mine off for a bit and seeing how that impacts my bow.

I am looking for either a GT350, GT500 or GT500KR convertible 1968 only.  I want one in Candyapple red with black interior.  I don't care if it has AC or not.  I strongly prefer 4 speed.  I am looking for a rotisserie restored car done to a high standard but and older restoration that has held up is not a problem.

After I looked at the car, and talked with our very helpful registrar, and saw the Marti Report, I am firmly convinced that the car was born in Highland Green and became Candy Apple Red sometime in the 1970's.  The door tag and the buck tag have are repops and based upon my conversation with our registrar that is not seriously in question because there is some wording on the buck tag that is just wrong.  With that said, it is a very solid car and has terrific body and paint.  If the seller gets his price back to earth I may end up with the car. 

Not sure.  Its not in his materials that I have seen yet.
