Prior to buying my Kirkham in 2007, I looked at a used fiberglass CSX in Saratoga, CA, IIRC. The CSX # was in the 4200's, again IIRC. The body had issues with waviness as well as fit and finish. I would have saved a ton of money by buying that car, which also had an early alloy Shelby block that was a leaker, which early alloy Shelby blocks were known to have.

Anyway, ERA's are not overrated IMO. I've seen plenty in my life, very early #'s to very recent. All other things being equal, I'd take the ERA over a CSX fiberglass car. FWIW, the CSX # is meaningless to me. That's my $0.02.
