You, sir, "don't get it".

Foolishly, the market for Shelbys considers CSX2009 an "original real Cobra". That was reflected in the high bid a couple of years ago when the car was previously auctioned.

In my opinion, Erik would have been well-advised to have taken the high bid at that time and, for his sake, I hope the current market produces a comparable bid.

In my opinion, to hold up a complete recreation such as the current CSX2009 as anywhere comparable to the thoroughly original CSX2557 is sheer idiocy.

However, the market is not always rational. Hopefully, there is a mullet that takes CSX2009 off Erik's hands at a price near what he is looking for. But, to be sure, it won't be me!

Jeffy, the simple fact is, you are again sticking your nose where it does not belong. It is not up to you or anyone else to act as the police in this situation and render an opinion based on who knows what information denigrating the car being offered for sale. Anyone with the wherewithal to purchase this car is likely not a dunce and will do his own research. Your opinions, coming as they do from what could be termed an unknown quantity, are simply unhelpful here.

Wow, I can't believe that I can't count. 1, 2, 2 and 3? Oye vey.

Let's get away from the Cobra for a second as it's clouding the truth.
My friends 1967 Corvette Roadster 427 Tripower has been modified. Flared fenders, all aluminum engine, Different wheels, 5-speed. The car looks beautiful and goes too. But...bring it to an auction and it won't command the money as if it were completely stock from the factory, ---BUT it is considered an original by the VIN and paperwork. The purest would not want his corvette to be parked next to THEM in the stock section of a car show though
I hope I did not cross the line here

If I had the disposable income for that car, I'd gladly take it at 1.1M, add some modern safety gear and track it once again. Why, simple, as the owner, it would be my choice, as it was my money that purchased it.
