Hank, my boy:
As it turns out, the Shelby #45 race car was chassis number B9470003 - AF3,
if you'd care to read Mike Taylor's writings. I know this won't make any
difference in your thinking, but it's nice to have the facts straight.

No, B949999, the Le Mans "mule" was reshaped on top of "project 870" and is
AF1. Lots of aluminum, but still a Jensen built Tiger. It also appears
that B949998 and B949997 received the Jensen touch before visiting the
Lister empire - more aluminum over Jensen handiwork.
