Default The time to build a CSX roller?

I was reading a 2004 thread about a CSX owner "Dwayne" who waited 25.5 months for his Shelby Cobra. The thread became a heated topic in Viper & Cobra forums because Dwayne was dying of cancer and the Shelby dealer promised a 9 month build which turned into 2 years++

I'd like to hear from past, current CSX owners on their build wait and experience.

I'm actually proud of him. He used the search button and kinda researched his subject matter before starting a thread. And extra credit for going back a decade. Of course, I'm not going to verify it.

Now, I'd be super-enthused, if he had actually found a Shelby owner who received their car in 6 months and asked the question in a more positive manner, say "Is this owner's 6 month wait typical of CSX production?"

But hey, small steps.

There you go again knock. You give him a back-hand compliment and mention something about asking in a more positive manner. Are you his parent? You do know NYG is an intelligent adult.


Just an observation.

He pushed the easy button, most read threads. If a new one is taken out of inventory it's a couple of weeks after choosing your color. If you specifically order one it's still over two years.

I would order an Acton Custom, would be more accurate than a 6000 car

Maybe accuracy is not his priority. Still hasn't answered my question.

Further, Hillbank has some in stock he could have today. All it takes is money.

i was curious if customer service policy has improved since 2004 at SAI and its dealer network. Just my belief that if a product is expensive, customer service should be equal or exceed expectations.

Customer service and wait time are 2 different things. Which are you really interested in? And unless you intend to buy something from SAI or the dealer network why do you care?

I've owned them all already.

How about a 93 LE with 85K miles on it

Wanted To Buy: Shelby Cobra Roller. Aluminum body preferable, fiberglass OK. Duct tape desirable. Willing to pay up to $30,000. Please no "hot rods shaped like Cobras." No trunk mounted battery. Battery(ies) must be in original location behind seat(s). Trunk must have space to carry at least two bags of kitty litter and a diaper bag.

Why do some of the members keep harping on NYG? He asked a question, why do you have to analyze and know why he asked it. I guess when NYG feels targeted and leaves you will just pick on another new guy.

I actually learned something from Chris on Cars and his Miata post. I'm still laughing about that supercar comment of his. surprised he didn't use his latest hypercar word usage.
