The entire DT comp program is just weird to me? Out of the 37 65 Shelby GT350 race cars, only 2 were factory raced.

The others were sold to private individuals.

First off, they were designated as Competition models in their serial number.

Second. they were in business to sell cars. Making them all "factory only" would have kind of killed the point?

It makes no sense to me that DT would not sell the "factory competition" model, the Group 4 car, to private individuals as well? I presume there was no reason to indicate comp model in his serial number designation? I don't understand why?

I am very sure that the most difficult feature to duplicate is the lightweight Pantera chassis. Virtually everything else could be purchased or fabricated separately?

I don't understand why just the skins of the doors, and trunk lids are aluminum? Why isn't the door frame, the hood,trunk support spider, and hinge assemblies also?
