You mean a rising tide lifts all boats.

Do you mean Vern's CSX4227 which sold and was asking $160,000 obo? I don't think that price would increase the value of Evan's. "All the prices in the surrounding are rising"? Are there comparables substantiating a rising price?

You mean the car that needed a 20K paint job?

His price was always 249K. He had it in a few other places for that price long before anything surfaced here. I never saw anything different.

Yes, I mean the beautiful brushed alloy CSX4227. And while you can certainly spend $20,000 to paint a Cobra, there are plenty of excellent paint shops that will paint it for far far less. There's an excellent paint shop in Yuba City, CA that paints Cobras for under $10,000 including my neighbor's FFR, which had significant fiberglass repairs to be done.

Personally I prefer unpainted aluminum. Why hide the beautiful body, IMO.

The original price in Evan's Hemmings ad was $229,000. That fact is indisputable. Plenty of members here saw it. And I can't imagine Evan, a man of exacting standards, making an error in the ad of his pride and joy. Sorry, not buying what your selling.

RodKnock 03-12-2016 03:11 PM

Evan has two other ads that I'm aware of via Google search where the price of his car is $239,000.

SAAC Forum:
Offering CSX 4206 for sale

Ford GT Forum:
CSX 4206 offered for sale

Whether it's $229,000, $239,000 or $249,000, it hasn't sold in 3+ months. That would lead most people to conclude that the car is over-priced.

The amusement of watching the uninformed spew forth garbage just to see their dumb ass corrected :LOL:

Must have been a difficult NLOA (Nissan Leaf Owners Association) board meeting today? Was there a breakdown in Roberts Rules of Order when the discussion turned to battery life and technology? :LOL:

an offer beeing unsold for 3+ month isnt that unusual for classic or special cars, there a many cars beeing offered much much longer

Totally disagree.

Not sure what market you're watching, but IMO it's very unusual to have classic or special cars sit unsold. Go to Club Cobra or GT40s.com. Cobras, GT40's are sold relatively quickly, but the KEY is they can't be priced $100,000 +/- over the market. I also watch both the new and used Porsche 911 market and there are GT3's, GTRS's, CGT's, etc. being sold quickly for hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the model. Special and desirable cars sell fast if priced around market value.

Evan's Cobra sitting for 3+ months speaks loud and clear to me. Either it's over priced and/or he needs to advertise it to a wider audience. Alternatively, put a high reserve on it and throw it on eBay or BaT and see what the high bid is. Do it 2-3 times. That'll give him a decent estimate of what's it's worth.

look at cobra-country, there are the most offers from nov-dez unsold...

Joe's Garage 03-13-2016 11:17 AM

peterpjb, let's put your google prowess to work, find 1 documented sale of a CSX series 4000/6000 car that has sold for $200K or more. Many have tried, all have failed.

Your words were "classic and special cars." The Cobras that are unsold, which were listed pre-12/31/15 are as follows:

Fiberglass CSX's - 3 (two are FIA's and one is priced at $162,500, with a "different" color scheme)
SPF - 1
BDR - 2
ERA -1

So, here's my point. With all due respect to the owners of these unsold Cobras, they're not ALLOY and they're not as highly detailed as Evan's CSX. And the $162,500 for the fiberglass 427 CSX (in likely a difficult to sell color scheme) is simply ridiculous, especially considering that Mr. Estes CSX4227 (ALLOY) sold for $160,000 or best offer.

Evan's CSX and Dave Brown's KMP are "one of the best of the breed" type ALLOY Cobras. They're not fiberglass and they're not the more common BDR's and SPF's. Evan's CSX and Dave's KMP are "special" cars. Evan's CSX is priced roughly $100,000 over the last ALLOY CSX sale. So, the fact that "one of the best of the breed" and "special" IMO, is still for sale 3+ months later tells me something. OVERPRICED.

The facts are the facts. If you think the seven (7) unsold pre-12/31/15 fiberglass Cobras are "special" in the Cobra world, then feel free to disagree.

Bernica 03-13-2016 03:08 PM

I used to know where there was a white FAIM commemorative FIA roller stashed, still in plastic wrap and stashed in a shop. I believe it was alloy too. The owner wanted $150K for the roller. No takers and shop owner was not getting paid to store it or complete it. Eventually, I believe the bank came and took it.
