CSX 6000 at Barrett-Jackson

[csx4910]

I was there yesterday and bythe afternoon the sun had come out and it was filling up. attendance today is average for BJ so I dont think the lack of crowds has to do with it as much as the economy. Replica and CSX cobras(continuation ones) have never done well at B-J at least not for the last several years. Only the originals seem to do well. There just isnt a big enough demand from the types of bidders they target for these cars. I would certainly look to buy one there as you can get a deal. The shelby/roush booth were trying to sell new csx6000 for $120K finished but I doubt they get many takers at that price

There are only two types of Cobras -originals and replicas. The "continuation" ones are replicas and their value is just that.

BJ prices are not indicative of the true market value of any car.

As the old joke or saying goes while standing on the bridge. That water sure is cold, and deep too!!!!

Ok , When it comes to cobras , Its like women and shoes , Women wear shoes to impress other women . I don't think anyone here cares what john Q public thinks , We are interested in what other Enthusiast think .Don't get me wrong here I would love a csx . But even Mr.Becker didn't call it real . So is it a kit car , sure is , comes as a kit don't it ? Csx3xxx came as a car . Hell an Aurora , Autocraft MrKIV even a Excaliber came as cars . So is it a real shelby ? Sure is , a real Shelby Cobra kit car . Just one poseur's 2cents .

Per SAAC: NOT a replica

Per "General Public" aka "People who drop $100K+ on CSX Continuation Cobras": NOT a replica

Everyone Else: REPLICA, but who cares what they think.

If it wasn't built in the 60's, it's a replica. Same as the GT40's.

I know I havent been around as long as a lot of you, but why does have to continue to be a pissing contest to see whose is better and bigger? Some of you suffer from CSX envy and some people like Evan cant seem to get over himself and that he has a alum csx and most people dont.

Half of this crowd wishes they could afford a CSX and seem to need to make excuses why they prefer theirs while bashing the continuation cars and Evan doesnt do any favors for the rest of us who own csx's but can appreciate ALL cobras. Evan you are a broken record and need a new recording. The rest of you need to get a life adn not bash those of us who bought a CSX just because we have always wanted an origianl but this is the closet we can get to it as we will never be able to afford the original

Ron, I'm just having some fun with Evan. I'm not "pissing on" CSX's. Who knows, I may buy one in the future, and I almost bought one before I bought my Kirkham.

Hey, were both in the SAAC Registry anyway.

I never said mine was anything different than a replica. Not all of us that own a CSX suscribe to Evan's philosophy of real/fake. I happen to agree with you. I didnt buy my car because it was "real" or not, I bought it because it was the closest (to me) to the original. I dont care what it is worth in 5 years any more than I would a FFR, BDR or SPF as I dont plan on ever selling it. I personally preferred driving my csx to teh Superformance I owned, although the SPF has some nicer fit and finish is differnt areas.

Cars by nature are never to be viewed as assets anyway, but expenses. I bought mine to enjoy dirivng my dream car and wanted to put as much horsepower in it as possible. Everyone has different tastes and reasons why they buy what they do and I dont see the point in always wanting to argue why your choice is better than anyone elses. it was your choice, not mine and my choice is personal to me so it really isnt anyone's business about my car. I dont rag on anyone else's car and dont appreciate people raggin on mine just because Carroll Shelby has turned into an a@#$% in his old age. i dont like it any better than you do but that didnt influence my decision to want to buy my car. I didnt even know about any of what has been going on until I came on this site.

I just dont see why some of you always want to turn this site into a pissing contest to see whose is bigger

Rodknock,
you have a beautiful car. I never knew about the Kirkhams until after I bought my csx otherwise I may of bought one of thiers. I only knew about FFR , SPF and Shelby when I got my car. I really wanted an alum CSX but it was a 6 month wait and I had already waited 35 years to get one. I kick myself now because it was only a $10K upgrade then and now a $50K-$60K upgrade now I think. I could of have the Alum roller for $60K + options but of well.
