Is it correct to say.....?
Fiberglass = made by Superformance and entire car will be made there?
Alloy/aluminum = made by Kirkham and will be assembled at Shelby?
Which car would have the greatest collector and resale value?
Would there be an advantage for the fiberglass vs. alloy other than purchase price?

Are there any photos out there of completed AC-sourced CSX1000's; and what did/do they actually sell for?

Search (in the blue menu bar) is your friend. There are lots of topics dedicated to the subject and many others buried in other topics.
Start with this one
CSX 1000s...

Greg, you can also add Alloy/aluminum = supplied by AC (CSX 1000 series)
I would imagine of all the modern day Shelby Cobras discussed in this thread these would be the most expensive/valuable.
Other than durability of the body and price (very "pedestrian" concerns  ), the fibreglass Shelby Cobras hold no perceived advantage over the alloy cars.

No, that is not correct. The fiberglass SAI and Superformance cars have nothing in common other the the Hi-Tech facility they are built in. They are different designs and have different body shapes. Some of the final assembly (wheels, badging, etc.) happens in Las Vegas.

How about we start with the fact that the Shelby has a round tube frame and the Superformance has a rectangular tube frame? |
