I know there are some CSX continuation owners who purchased the aftermarket Shelby blocks and then had them stamped the same number as their CSX # so they could have "matching numbers." Drinking too much of the "Kool Aid"?
My '66 427 Corvette lost its original engine before I owned it, so I installed a Tremec TKO 5speed and a 540ci engine with a Dart block, IIRC. So matching alternators, starters, tranny, engine, hose clamps, radiators, etc. did not matter one iota to me. And I'm sure that's why the CSX plaque on a Kirkham body matters NOT to me.
I'm thinking Evan's CSX4206 is about a $175,000-$180,000 car or roughly a $20,000-$25,000 premium over Vern's CSX that was asking $160,000. And I'm giving the black paint of Evan's car extra value. But while I love black Cobras, I personally prefer alloy Cobras to be "bare naked." Why not show off that gorgeous body?  |

What fun is a car with "no stories?"
I'd pay extra for that!

I keep going back to if Evan's car does sell someday what the new owner will have to deal with. It will always be "Evan's car" in cobra circles - he promoted it everywhere, no getting around it. That's unwanted baggage, never the new owner's new cobra, just Evan's old CSX4206.
If the new owner ever showed up here, I'm sure we would welcome him as a brother. I also know that as soon as CSX4206 is mentioned the peanut gallery will chime in "oh, you own Evan's cobra" lol. |

Kinda disagree.. Just sold a 66 GT350 convert about 6 months ago.. Had the car since 1974.. Lots of guys knew about it (Shelby guys) but it hadn't been seen since 1975. Became a barn car !! Well sort of. Now I am a has been and everyone knows the new owner.

Your situation and Evan's are worlds apart -
Yours was an original, Evan's was not
You didn't need to justify authenticity, Evan spent a decade telling us why his was a "genuine real one"
Yours was out of the lime light for something like 40 years
Evan put his in the lime light every chance he got
Don't know you, never heard of ya  but I'm sure you're not like Evan and a nice guy
Evan, ask around, a blowhard thread opened up in his honor |

Love the car, not so much the owner.
I'm sure we would welcome the new owner properly.
Unless he turned out to be another (@&$#*ĄŁ€)!

Description says "rare aluminum body." Not rare for a Kirkham. |

That looks like a nice Kirkham, but do you really think they will get that much money without the CSX#? |
