Seems if you can buy an aluminum Continuation series for $200,000.00 right now, that would be the move. After rollers hit $160,000.00 a finished car will clearly be north of $200,000.00 by a good margin especially if finished nicely and with detail.

I have been down in the dumps lately cause of the heat in AZ, I needed a good LAUGH, thanks...

Keep laughing. 2004 I backed out on a deal to sell my Shelby for $145K. Was selling at that time to buy a FGT. Decided to keep the Shelby and take the plunge and buy the FGT in addition. Glad I did both. The owner of my car's near twin and just as detailed if not more so recently turned down $250,000.00. Of course the peanut gallery won't believe me but that's just fine. Keep laughing. Just as with originals some are worth more than others depending on many factors.

I wouldn't sell my car for anything under $200,000.00 and have had interest expressed for numbers north of that. Keep laughing.

Well, u have authenticity and yours will worth more. I am not sure about these new CSX rollers at $160K. I don't see the "DNA" connection to the originals.

Also, your Ford GT will be worth $1,000,000 quickly. That's one of the cars my generation of car geeks will buy for big dollars and that will be a future kit car.

DNA is Carroll Shelby and SAI. Since Carroll's death that presents another potential issue of attenuation. Agreed, but they are still Shelby's and come through SAI. However, are Ferraris any less Ferraris since Enzo died?

Only the future will tell. I do know for a fact and have had interest expressed for my Cobra in excess of $200k but not selling. Well in excess of my purchase $.

I agree 100% on the FGT.
