Csx2568
Why is it that people are facsinated with what we will "get" for CSX2568? Yes, the whole world watched as we bought the car for $440,000. The whole world watches a lot of things selling for one price and being worth another. Most of the time its reverse, (people pay too much) but in this case, based on unbiased real opinions from REAL Cobra experts(as opposed to replica"wannabe" people), yes, the car was a gift at Barrett Jackson. So if you all pool your money, maybe you can buy it and share it on weekends. Someone is going to get one beautiful Cobra! By the way, its always nice to actually LOOK at a car before making ignorant comments on websites like this. Good luck to all of you, Owner, CSX2568

Owner....
You don't seem to "get" it, do you.
This is an enthusiast site, where people "discuss" their hobby. Watching the market on the vintage cars is part of that.
There really is no need to come here with a chip on your shoulder...these guys are going to chat about this, regardless.
You could join the discussion and enlighten some on how things progress on your 'flip'...or you could continue to act weirdly and make threats to people here. (..which is why we closed the other thread with your reply).
Your choice..choose wisely.
thanks
ron

...because we can. It's part of the banter around here.

Well for your sake, I hope the market has appreciated $150K+ in the last couple of months. I doubt it though....

No doubt. At $440, it's a fair price...

The pics sure make it out to be a nice car. And this site is full of commentary, useful or otherwise. Witness your reply....

He states: "we" bought the car
Looks like the two bit used car salesman had to "pool" his money too. Snagged!!!!

Wow! Until I read this reply I was going write that seeing that price for CSX2568 made me feel somewhat insignificant,even though my hand built pride and joy has given me more joy than most anything I have ever owned.Now I will say,too bad more people cannot extract the same pleasure from these beautiful cars.These cars are a lot more than just dollars and cents to a lot of us.Since the 60's when I first laid eyes on one of these beasts,I have lusted over driving one.Now after building, tweaking,racing,and more important meeting a lot of great people,the experience is something those of you with need for more money,will probably never enjoy.

Boy is his turban on too tight.
He just pissed off a good source of buyers for that car.
Nice job, Abdul!

Jim, no disrespect, but in my opinion your comment is not appropriate and is disrespectful to the many people around the world who wear turbans, for example, Sikhs.

It is meant to be disrespectful to him, and him alone.
When he called me a moron, he threw "political correctness" out the window.

While the population of Cobra owners who wear Turbans and read this website is probably small, they could be insulted. Either way, I pointed it out, and I'm done.
Back to the thread. OK, now if I own a REAL (Kirkham) Cobra, per the SAAC World Registry, can he call me a "wannabe replica owner"? At present, I don't desire to buy and/or build a replica.

Wow!
I didn't know we were just a bunch of sh!theel posers, paupers and pretenders on here and that only a real guy like that could piss on.
Glad he straightened us out about what losers we are. And the real-world values of REAL Cobras.
Be a shame if the garage-mahal caught fire and he had to rebuild it from the footbox tag up. But then he might have a replica 2568...
Smug basturd too. Makes Evan and Patrick look like Mother Theresa and the Dalai Lama...
