CSX 6000 at Barrett-Jackson

Yeah, Ron Pratt would never buy a continuation replica kit car.

Well we don't know for sure what John Q public thinks. But we do know what the leading authority says they (Continuation series) are and certainly what the buying and/or knowledgable general public seems to think. Again, I don't think guys drop close to and more than $100 large on what they perceive as faux Cobras. Thats the "general public" I am referring to.

Thats my take.

In the end I really don't care what the non enthusiast with little or no knowledge about Cobras thinks about the Continuation series. Who cares about them????.

I know what my car is and so do those that understand what these cars are and have researched the issue in the SAAC Registry which is the Bible on these cars.

If I were to sell my car it would be bought at the appropriate price for the market at that time for a top of the line aluminum Shelby Cobra by someone who knows what it is and what its value is not by some unknowledgable John Q Public who doesn't know a FFR from a Shelby.

An ever changing market. At B-J in Las Vegas 10/09 CSX 6021 sold for 128,000 and in Scottsdale 1/10 CSX 6018 sold for I think 93,500 or so. Both prices include 10% buyers fee. The hammer price in Scottsdale was I think 85,000. I was there but can't remember exactly.

Can't help but laugh on that one, no matter which side of the fence you stand on. I think I'll borrow that one the next time I'm filling her up at the gas station (just to see the funny looks that will undoubtedly follow).

Hey REAL 1, how come no pics of your car in your gallery? If yours is as close to an original as your description states, it sure would be nice to share with others that want to learn more. If you have them posted at SAAC, then post a direct link to the album. Thanks.
