I thought I would comment on Evan's comment about the "general public" and those that buy CSX continuation Cobras.

I read Sports Car Market each month. It's a very nice magazine that describes the auction results from various auctions during the year. Colin Comer contributes to the magazine and owns and races Shelbys. He's the magazines' "expert" when it comes to all things Shelby. Here's what he wrote in March 2008:

The bottom line. He's writing an article on the replica market and lumps the CSX and Kirkham with all the other replicas. So, I'm not sure your comment about how the general public and auction buyers perceive the CSX as anything more or less than a $150K replica.
