[REAL 1]

Interesting. No announcement from SAI. Again some new "news wire statement." What does "limited production" mean? What will be the cost? AC's were selling exact repros of the 427 several years ago for $200K. before all the problems with Lubinsky and Price. Hmmm. This just doesn't pass the smell test.

It would be neat to see but I don't believe it will happen. Dan is right.

All new Shelby's are/would be REAL Shelby Cobras regardless of who did the fabrication of body and chasis. Whehter some here agree with the fact the current CSX is a REAL Cobra, apparently SAI considers their current series 4000s, 7000s and 8000s as REAL Cobras as suggested by using a phone # "1 702 942 REAL." Without the same bucks and jigs AC originally used much of the AC "panache' and heritage" is out the window. I don't think Price would ever allow the original jigs and bucks to be used.

If there is a limited production AC fabricated CSX1000 or 7500 my bet is that it will be quite a bit more expensive than the CSX4000 and 7000 based on the cost of its production and "it heritage as an AC product" My bet is that any such car would be in the retail range of $200K to $250K.

Unless they are made from the original bucks and jigs I don't see much advantage of a modern produced AC body and frame over a Kirkham produced body and frame.
