Based on that my asking price for CSX4206 would be at least $240K if I were selling but I'm not. As noted I've had interest expressed for over $200K.

Asking $40,000 more for a used Shelby Cobra with self-admitted road rash? That's Ripley's Believe-it-or-not territory. My Kirkham, which was "detailed" by noted Cobra Restorer Stewart Hall of Hall Fabrication, is on sale right now at $199,000. Please submit your offers now, before I change my mind.

Let me know when there's an actual published sale of any Shelby Cobra Continuation over $200K.

Well believe it or not those are the facts. Already told you what I had my car sold for years ago. Already told you I had interest on more than one occassion in the car for over $200K.

Just had my Cobra priced out in detail if I were to do again today by Billy Andrews at HRE. $245K.

Yep. Believe it or not! Your disbelief or belief doesn't alter the reality of what I just advised you.

Oh, and please specify how I "abuse" the Registry. If I am not quoting exactly I am referring the reader to it. I note you referred to the Registry above. Were you "using" it or "abusing" it?

Abuse - The improper or excessive use or treatment.

Fact - A thing done. "Interest" and "offers" are NOT "a thing done." The reality is your car and mine are still in their respective garages at home.

I have not seen one sale of a CSX4000 over $200K that has been published. Until I see a published sale or a bank wire transfer to an owner's bank account, I don't believe it. Hillbank is offering a BRAND NEW (2008) CSX4000 for $199,000. I'm sure it has and will continue to sit.

If we're comparing apples-to-apples, if I bought a BRAND NEW Kirkham, optioned it similarly to what I have now, and had Hall Fab put it together, then my OTD price would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $175,000. But so what? My car's value is not $175,000.

Improper use? Really? How so? Be specific please.
Excessive? Excessive is relative. My use is a direct corollary to the amount of CC BS spewed.

True. I have not sold my Cobra. I don't have plans to. Did have it sold but backed out 10 years ago to buy a FGT. Have had interest in the car from others in last year or so. Numbers they were willing to pay were over $200K. I was not selling nor am I now. Yes. I agree completed sales is was sets the market. I am just pointing out the interest and the extent expressed. The Hillbank car is not in the same league as CSX4206 in detail. Nice but not in the same orbit.

If there is a long wait for new Kirkhams and someone wants your car and pays $175K that's what it's worth. Supply and demand remember?
