That's a HUGE depreciation expense on one's financial statement.
Your not reading and comprehending again. Go slowly and read out loud the following.... The value of continuation Cobras will vary depending on the car, it's build and it aesthetic accuracy to original specification or other factors such as 40th Anniversery etc. Just like the original series they can't be lumped together and values will differ.

Plus the CSX in question was a killer buy regardless of the issues in finish or condition. Kudos to it's new owner. You want an aluminum CSX for $130k? start shopping. Lighting could strike twice in the same spot. Be patient I could happen again.

Also looks like I can by a new Kirkham roller on Ebay which as a roller can be lumped with the rest with the same options for about $10k less than from Kirkham. What's up with that?
