Forget "manufacturers suggested retail price" although many will sell for MSRP then get the power train for retail.

A better comparison would be CSX6124 sold at Barrett Jackson (Vegas) a few weeks ago for 134.2K. That was a brand new car with a period correct 427FE.

For more info see my post elsewhere with the real market data from the auction.

Every time I turn around Evan's car loses value, now his appraised value is market value + $105,800

Me too. He forgot my comparison was against a fiberglass car. I'm afraid that Even's replacement cost might be a little light these days.

I haven't seen any alloy CSX 4000/6000/7000/8000 for $240,000. If I were Evan, I'd sell at $240,000 all day long and twice on Tuesdays. If you can find any sales publicly verifiable over $200K, please post a link.

Hillbank always has a few for sale asking $160,000-199,0000.

Now the CSX 1000 and CSX Resurrection Series, yes, over $200,000.

More than a 0% authentic Shelby Cobra not built buy Shelby whether kit, replica, pureed, blended, shaken or stirred or however else you want to "slice it." Oh, and way more then those 0%er's with Chevy engines.

So now let's talk %. In the time of the genuine ,real Cobras, the 1960's AC Cars Ltd sold using their COB-COX serial number's sold from the factory at least two cars with Chevy engines (fact). Todays incarnation of AC Cars Ltd Heritage sells their cobra with their COB- COX serial number from the factory with GM LS engines. Under your way of thinking today's AC Cars would definitely have the right to be called "REAL-1's" . So what are the percentages again? Please remind me cause I kinda didn't hear what you were saying??????
