Ehhh. Sorry, incorrect. Not "advertising", but actual sales. For someone who didn't want to "bicker," and scolded me for not vetting my posts first, you're doing a fine job.
So, this is what I posted earlier in this thread:

Hillbank always has a few for sale asking $160,000-199,0000.
Now the CSX 1000 and CSX Resurrection Series, yes, over $200,000.

Asking prices are completely meaningless. If you have actual publicly verifiable sales transactions, then please post them. I subscribe to Keith Martin's Sports Car Market auction magazine and they have not posted an alloy CSX over $200,000 yet. And not that eBay is a perfect venue for pricing, but I haven't seen any there yet either.
And I never said prices over $200,000 are impossible, they're already bumping around that area. I just haven't seen any. And to be honest with you, with Kirkham and Shelby both significantly increasing prices over the past few years, it's definitely going to happen at some point. Maybe they have. But even one or two sales over $200,000 won't represent the entire market for any car. That's what auction magazines will tell you.
IIRC, way back in 2007-2008, when I purchased my car, Shelby alloy rollers were in the range of $95,000-$115,000. Kirkham rollers were about $70,000-$80,000. Today, alloy Shelby rollers are $160,000 and Kirkham rollers are $100,000 (raw, file finish, unpolished). If you get a polished Kirkham roller with center stripes, then they're $117,000. So, nothing is getting cheaper at this point, but then interest rates are 0%, so money is cheap.
