I suspect that if it is true that the CSX 4XXX cars will increase in value.
FFR is according to what others are saying on the other sites, supposedly, again would be acquiring just some jigs and other hardware. The rights to the coveted "Cobra" name supposedly will not be part of the deal nor is the right to use CSX vin #'s. In essence they would only be buying the equipmnent and some tooling. It will as some others speculate end up in the FFR attic with the Contemporary jigs and molds.
FFR will not be able to market and sell Shelby Cobras. They will supposedly not have the right to use CSX vin #'s. They will in all probability keep on selling FFRs.
Again the above is just more speculation about the "supposed sale" spouted by others that I've read.
If this rumor is true (which its NOT according to my sources connected to SAI) it would truly be sad to see SAI disappear. They brought us the Cobra to begin with.
As to value of the existing CSX 4000's. I think they will increase if such a sale took place.
They would then be the last of the breed and become rare in and of themselves.
In actuality whoever started and perpetuated the rumor are blowing smoke up our butts if they started this rumor. I don't know who started this rumor. Maybe it wasn't the Smith brothers/FFR who started this rumor, I don't know but whoever did is definitely jerking your chains IMHO. I don't buy it for a minute. If they did start the rumor, and I don't know who started it really, but if they did they are either doing it to be vindictive IMHO towards SAI or as an effort to creating great publicity for themselves. Look. One little post on suggesting the "rumor" and look whats going on. The last entity SAI would sell to would be FFR.
I don't know who started this "rumor". Maybe the guy who said he heard it at Carlisle or who said he heard from one of the Smith brothers is not being honest. Who Knows.
I would suspect that the SAI dealers and/or other investors would buy the assets before FFR. Makes more sense doesn't it.
By the way. Where is the proof and numbers that SAI is not doing good sales wise. Is this just another rumor?
Oh, enough with the rumors. Others have claimed to hear it directly from the Smiths. Well, why haven't the Smiths come on and told us about their new acquisition. Its public now. SAI posted here and said it ain't true.
Well, where are the Smith brothers? They supposedly have told others according to what some have said here. Let them say its true here. They've posted here before. Whats the problem?
