Sorry for the repeat. I missed the prior thread....
Why would the seller think the car is worth $160K more only one month after he paid $440K for it? It's not like the BJ auction was run secretly and he "stole" it. The whole world watched and decided it was worth excatly what he paid.

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.

Ron,
It appears I hit the nail on the head with my post above. Forwarded you what seems like a cut and paste of what Rodknock got in his PM from this dealer (as I just did).

This guy is something. He's got a little two-bit used car lot in Maimi where he's selling $10k to $20k beaters and he comes off with this better-than-thou attitude.
Add to this at least two misrepresentations in his ebay ad:
1. " first time in over 40 years that CSX2568 has been in public" Guess the BJ auction where he bought it wasn't public?
2. " car was never more than 100 miles from the city of San Francisco" hmmm . . . I coulda sworn Miami was more than 100 miles from SF.
Plus, more negative feed back as an ebay seller than you can attribute to the token overly picky buyer.
I hope he owns this car for a very, very long time.

Here is my latest communication with sfe1234:

You don't think I own the car so why don't you come over and I will charge you to take a picture with it? By the way, I never read this website until yesterday(check when I registered) but there are OTHER REAL COBRA OWNERS that are very upset that morons like you have a forum to spew venom without any knowledge or class. Get a life and enjoy your replica Cobra.
Look sfe1234 I will try once again to communicate with you. I agree with you on the “can’t fix stupid” that is why I won’t try to fix you. Why would I want to call and talk to you? You clearly have an attitude that no one wants to deal with. My belief was and is that the market value of the car is 440K. If you can find someone else is dumb enough to pay more than that for the car in the current market good for you. Why not report back if the car sells and tells us how much you got for it? Also it seems the only one spewing venom is you. You are the one who is putting off the holier that thou attitude. Maybe you should look into the mirror and assess who needs to change.
Good luck with the sale, FIA Mike
PS: I wouldn’t pay you a cent for a ride in the car. I’ve ridden in and driven several REAL Cobras (both USRRC and street 289’s along with street 427’s) and I can say none of them handled better than my ERA built 289 FIA roadster.

You are so right! We have both; an original CSX and a replica CSX. We bought the replica so that we can actually drive the car. You don't want to put 100s of miles on an antique.... We love our replica CSX it is amazing. This guy is a real piece of work.

I hope the person that buys the '66 "Shelby GT350 Package" Mustang from them isn't put down as a "wannabe" Shelby owner.
