What's the deal with Slabside pricing and availability?

I don't know about those Smiths gauges though!

Once a Smiths man, always a Smiths man.
Once an SW man, always an SW man ......although Shel did go back to Smiths with the 427, didn't he?

Didn't you like the bit about how it had an original Cobra engine?

[1985 CCX]

It was a nice touch.
Feel like I heard alloy fenders as well. ???
Might of had to many cocktails by then.

They said something about alloy and then went back to saying "composite"

Jim Cowles at period 13 Cobra built it - Shelby Parts and Restoration - If he say's that it is an original Cobra engine then it is - Jim is not one to mince words.......

Agreed. I know Jim.

Did not know that it was his build-out or I wouldn't have questioned it.

I do remember hearing something of another model after the leaf spring but I thought it was just a myth!

1965 SHELBY COBRA CSX 8000 ROADSTER

We finished the white one for the (now former) owner and he drove that car everywhere - He custom ordered it from us with the red interior to match exactly what he saw in a Ford showroom (the car) back in the mid 1960's.

When we ordered that car and picked it up at SAI it was one of the first CSX 8000's to come from S. Africa

CSX 8004 - 40th anniversary? WTF?? I was always led to believe that all 40th anniversary cars were 427's???

This is a new one on me.....

It sold for under $100k not counting buyers premium. So much for them being worth the $150-200k they charged for the 50 " special edition" slab sides about a year ago. Although the black with red interior is a nicer color combination. Cobra's have never done well at Barrett Jackson.

A white csx2000 series original automatic slab side went for as much money as the infamous dragon snake at right at a million. I was surprised with the racing history Dragonsnake had it didn't go higher. Overall, Bonhams,RM and Barrett Jackson were about soft at about 20% lower than than many of the estimates

Well, if it had an "original Cobra engine," now we're talking $150,000. The Ford Motorsport engine really killed the price.

Actually that blue is pretty darn nice.

[marklotus]

Barrett Jackson shows that it sold for $143,000 including buyers premium.

The rear bumper on the first continuation is way too wide for the car. Maybe it's for a 427 but it looks even wider than that.

The original for sale:

[jon@harrison.ne]

All I see is both sides of the windshield-anyone else?

[jon@harrison.ne]

Re the last post,my wi fi was slow, now I see everything.

[jon@harrison.ne]

I find it unbelievable that they can't get the dash right on the continuation cars. I know it's hard to find the original charge indicator light, although I found a few, but the glove box door is the wrong shape and the knob incorrectly placed, the drop of the lower edge is wrong,....
