What do you think of your car? I like the 7000s better. Just like the hips. But a friend has an original CSX2000 slab side with a 260 that really rocks.
|
I checked and CSX 6163 is sold. It is solid red.
|
It's a little late in the night for me to throw in my story (it's long and drawn out) but for what it's worth, I took delivery of my CSX from Becker in November 2011 and I have a mixed opinion about the transaction. Let's just say Becker has ample room for improvement, especially in the area of taking care of the customer after the sale.

I guess I'll chime in that I had the opposite experience with Stephen Becker.
I took delivery in July 2009 and had a great pre- and post-sales experience. Stephen's installers were available and responsive on the few questions I had a few months after taking delivery of the car and Stephen also helped me get a few warranty issues sorted out with SAI. I've heard from others in my local club that SAI isn't always particularly responsive to questions, let along warranty replacement items. %/ I do know that Stephen and Carroll did buy/sell each other some 60's mustangs so there could have been other reasons for legal exchanges between the two that have nothing to do with Shelby dealership matters. Anyway, my $.02. |

Good luck with your car. |
In paragraph 26 of the lawsuit it says...
"Relying on Defendant SAI’s promise of a 2011 delivery, Plaintiff pre-sold all five Anniversary Cars to buyers, repeating to them the promise that the Anniversary Cars would be available by Dec. 11, 2011.." It goes on to say that four of these cars are not yet delivered. They were sold to customers. So, are there well meaning customers who have put up $ for a car who have not gotten them? Who knows what all the facts are. My main concern is for any folks who have put up money for a car and have no car or their money. Anybody know who these customers are (if there are any people in this boat)? Jack |

I would have no problems buying new from any of the established manufacturers. Superformance, ERA, Factory Five, Backdraft, etc. All excellent reputations. Not a hint of delivery problems. But there is something about dealing with Shelby stuff that gives me pause. And with this particular issue/lawsuit - who know what the facts are? I do not care. Jack |

Sure, there was sweating and swearing, luckely we had Bill Malone in our corner keeping us up to date on the now defunct "Cobra Owners Forum". Updates and pictures kept us off the ledge.............. CSX's were also much less expensive at the time, $39,900 for a fully finished painted roller. I believe the deposit was $10k. Better risk/reward ratio, would not do again. |
I was at the Vegas, SAI facility about 2.25 years ago and there were 3 Cobras in the shop being assembled. I was there last March and there were 6 or 7 being assembled in the shop (I believe one was aluminum bodied). I thought they were doing great???? i seem to remember there being some point in there where they were not taking new orders? All of this is kinda strange.

Personally, I’m disappointed with all of the drama tied to the Cobras. What should be an exciting experience, as it has for some like Doug, has turned into a wretched event for others. Excluding the two issues I had with Becker (which irritated the pi$$ out of me), my transaction was relatively painless. For those who are experiencing a delay in taking delivery of your CSX, it will happen but the question is how long will you have to wait? |
My CSX 6046 was ordered April 2010, I ordered a Shelby engine CSX 1006 May 2010. The car arrived at the Dealer March 2011, the engine arrived Feb 2011. I was one of the lucky ones although it seemed forever to me! I had to pay the entire balance due before Shelby would complete the build. I have had no problems with the car so I can not speak for service issues.
|
My car was ready to leave Las Vegas 13 months after I placed my deposit. I too had to pay the full balance BEFORE THE CAR LEFT HI-TECH!! That was somewhat unnerving, but I have to admit it all worked out really well. I found out that 50% of that wait period is spent doing nothing. It takes 6 MONTHS from the moment you place an order (pay your deposit) to the moment HI-TECH picks up the first screw on your car. At least my AD warned me from day #1, and that help the angst (somewhat %/).
I would do it again... |
