For me and me alone. And I had an extra $30K for an engine, transmission and some upgrades.

Now wait just a second. Let's compare apples to apples. I'm betting yours (like many) is not painted (I've never seen it). Take your bare naked lady and get it painted. When I inquired about a full paint job to get my packer car repainted it was about 20K.

And I got equivalent parts service from Shelby.

I can't say the same for Roush though but that story is documented elsewhere.

For your information, a polished body with center brushed stripes, besides being a lot work too, is a $17,000 option and that's what I have. As I mentioned somewhere in one of the 15 threads Evan started, the 50th Anniversary CSX is $180,000 painted or polished, buyer picks. No price difference.
