BTW, my personal taste has nothing to do with it. The car is simply an inauthentic replica of a 1964 competition car with bits of a 1963 competition car thrown in. Those are facts, not opinion.

I have no clue about what 2557 and 2009 have sold for, will sell for or about the their value at all. I'm not an expert.

But we all know that auction prices may vary due to time, place, people, etc. So, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on auction prices to form a complete valuation of each car myself. Just reading Keith Martin's Sports Car Market auction magazine, the variables at auctions are numerous including alcohol consumption.

Having said that, 2557 may just be a better and more faithfully original CSX, and I gather that from your statements on the matter. BUT, to say that 2009 doesn’t exist anymore, is a fantasy recreation or that your ERA is more real is just NOT correct IMHO.
