Ed,
When Shelby stopped making cars many years ago after he stopped building the CSX3XXX series, no one thought he would be back building CSX4XXX series and somehow the price of the earlier cars went through the roof.

Then they plummetted, when too many people bought cars for their investment value. Some will say it was because they went down because the prices were not based on any thing resembling common sense (kind a like the prices of some dot coms).
Others will argue the prices got adjusted because he started building CSX4XXX series.

I don't think I have the answer why.. I do know one thing for sure, he ain't coming back in 20 years to start up again to build CSX5XXX.

You won't hear me argue if they are replicas or not. I couldn't care less. Let's say they are REPLICAS.

In that case I will restate my position. Carroll Shelby after he sells or closes, or burns his operations down, won't be coming back in 20 years from now to build any more REPLICAS.

If his unwillingness, inability to build any more cars, replicas in the future is a fact, how is it that the price I paid for my CSX4000 will go down. I guess I don't understand that.

Before you state your position why you think I will loose value, you ought to know what I paid for the car in the first place, wouldn't you?

Anything less than that would be a pure guess and speculation.
