The $39-42k cars are the glass bodied cars being built in South Africa by CAV. They are very nice copies of an ERA or Contemporary done with Carroll's blessing. If what you want is to say "yes" whan someone asks you if it is "real" this might be your car.

You will still need to drop 20-30k in a side oiler and a few grand in accessories, another 2k for a toploader or a 5 or 6 speed to get it on the road. Not a bad car for $75k complete in "original" trim.

I will point out the car Turk built, CSX-4148 is still available on e-bay for 124k. if you use buy it now.

I can still hear Carroll screaming about "counterfit" cars in my head when I see these ads. The irony in this is really pretty cool.
