I have a general recollection of Autokrafts activities in the 80's from my reading. I don't see where they contributed in any great way to the support of the Cobra. It seemed to me that the replica industry gets the majority of the credit for that during that time period.

As to CSX's being worth more than COB's, again this is based on my general recollection from past readings. I can't this minute cilte you any specific sales #s as to COBs. Are you saying I'm wrong and that origianl COBs are selling for the same $$$ as an equivilent original CSX???? Please provide the data.

I believe I am correct as to CSX's selling for considerably more than an equivilent COB. If I'm wrong please post the proof.

As to the Mustang GT vs. Ace, I'll admit I did not realize the Ace was selling for that much. I thought they were selling for around $50,000 to $60,000.00. I don't follow the Ace that closely. Do you have actual sales figures?

I would suggest that the value of the Ace, although I can't prove this, is in large part due to CS and the link the car has to the Cobra. Seems logical.
