Aluminum Body Shelby Continuation rollers $160,000.00

Here's a picture of two factory approved full competition cars, csx 4163 and csx 1003 at SAC 35. I can only speak for myself, but I believe you won't see these cars sell below 200 thousand. I don't know if any of the other competition cars have sold, but I doubt they would sell below 200 thousand either.

So I'm confused, why are all the other CSX4000 cars on SAAC all circa $85,000.00

Quite frankly, I'm glad for the earlier Chevy powered Ace.
It proved to be a loser.

The Ford powered Cobra? Well, we're not going to revise that now, are we?

Stands to reason. CS was going after a soft target. Chevy had the Corvette and he figured they would 'get it'. But the GM brick wall that eventually led them to be bailed out, was well established back then.
Ford had stodgy offerrings and was poised for change. The rest, is history.

I don't know if ol Shel was as dumb as a door knob, but if you've ever known a champion, you'd know them to have built successes on top of failures.

Assuming your question is serious, and I'll keep it brief, there are both aluminum and fiberglass CSX4000's. The aluminum bodied CSX4000's are not anywhere near $85,000. Roughly double that amount. A new completed alloy CSX4000 sits at Hillbank asking $199,000. The bodies of the aluminum CSX4000's are produced by Kirkham. The CSX1000's are all aluminum bodies and were produced in England. The English CSX1000 series are roughly double the value of aluminum CSX4000 series Cobra's.

Again, just a thumbnail sketch and the values I've thrown out can be argued since not many are traded, at least publicly.

Yes it was a serious question, I was intrigued as to how one person can argue that his car is worth circa $200,000 when there are early number CSX 4000 cars advertised on SAAC (4065,4062,4031 and 4836) with prices ranging from $82,000 to $120,000. I thought all early CSX Cobras were Aluminium, didn't realize the Fibreglass copies started so early.

(For the record I have Kirkham KMP709 with every option and then some including Cammer with 8 stack so I know what I have spent.)

$80,000-$120,000 is fiberglass CSX territory. There's a beautiful black CSX (fiberglass) asking $120K on Cobra Country with an 8-stack EFI 526ci engine that looks outstanding.

No affiliation, but here's alloy CSX4389 advertised for $165,000 here in CA:

Mohr Imports, Inc.

eBay too:

Basically new with 300 mi, top notch build with SB-100 smog exemption. He will probably get close to the $165K ask imo. What do you think HRE would appraise this one at, ~$260K or so being almost brand spanking new?

Quick, somebody tell (un) Real1 about that one. He will probably rush out and snap it up and then flip it to one of his buddies who offered to pay him $260K for his. Easiest $100K profit ever made. Right Evan?

Oh, now I see why it is selling for $100K less than Evan's is "worth". No genuine Shelby continuation glove box, door panels or trunk carpet!

Yeah, that's the reason!
