The originals will always be the "Mona Lisa's" and worth a boatload.

If interest diminishes in the Shelby status/legacy in the future, then the original CSX 2000's and CSX 3000's won't be the ones to be the real losers. The CSX premium for the 4000/6000/7000/8000 series will be ZERO and thus the real losers.
The originals can be Mona Lisas all day long. If the interest in Cobras and Shelbys tank their fall is the steepest. If the next generations lose interest in the Mona Lisa and DaVinchi it becomes just another old painting. Pretty simple really.

Also if the premium on Shelbys wither based on evaporated interest where does that leave cars that aren't even Shebys?
