Hey Hippy Guy,
Lighten up, There is a lot of people on this board that have that Disgusting brandywine paint job or headrests or six speeds. I have the six speed. I don't own a CSX cobra. I have a fiberglass body that looks like a cobra or an AC. There are no badges on my car that signify SAI or any other car company.
I respect your choice in buying a Shelby CSX4000 replica. It is a good choice. I think your pricing research needs a little work though. I built my roadster 12 yrs ago for about 15K. There are other choices besides trying to build an exact reproduction of the original. Thats the beauty of this body style. You can do it your way.
If all those replica manufacturers gave Shelby that $500 do you suppose that they could have written it off on charity? Or if I bought one would I have gotten the option to write it off. Maybe CS would collect it then give it to the heart fund. That way he could take the deduction. So you see why maybe the replica manufacturers had a few questions before they started charging customers $500 per body kit. Would that money apply to turn keys only or was it for just the body?. I know for a fact that an offer was made to CS but the company did not get an answer . The offer was withdrawn.
Hippy, did you look at the Kirkhams car? I think you might like what you see. Closest thing to perfection I have ever seen. It's true to the style in every way.
Your Friend,
Hershal Byrd
PS. I did not dump my Chevy motor in my car..I carefully placed it in with loving hands.
