Yes, it may be the finest most authentic replica of a Shelby Cobra in existence.

And Evan's CSX4206 is roughly $100,000 +/- more than "Vernon Estate's" CSX4227, which recently sold and was asking $160,000.

I do like the idea of him taking it to auction either in Monterey or Amelia. With the right promotion ahead of time and the right crowd full of cash, good liquor and wine, no telling what could happen!

And if Evan does bring it out to Monterey to auction it off, we should gather everyone together from Club Cobra, and then I'll treat everyone to Triple Quesalupa's from the local Monterey or (Carmel) Taco Bell.

I wish the Vernon's Estate would post the selling price. I would hate to speculate and I'm sure it would have no bearing on Evan's price unless he raised it another $20,000 to $279,000.

And what wine is a perfect match for a Triple Quesalupa?
Evan could do well in Monterey if he got exposure at places like The Quail and others.

You guys can eat the processed food with a half-life, I'll be having the butternut squash and asparagus tips with water for dinner at one of the finer establishments in Carmel.

Just finished my Big Fat Chicken Taco from Del Taco and washed it down with a nice cold ginger ale (Thomas Kemper or course!). My last stress test went through like that sh%t through a goose and BMI is good.

See? You guys sucked me back in to getting off topic again!

Back to topic...

You do realize the "Kimosabe" could be hurtful to Native Americans, who feel/felt that portrayal of Tonto was degrading to Native Americans.

Also, "Tonto" means moron in Spanish.

But maybe I'm being too "politically correct" for the times.

Yes, I've been working to improve myself for quite some time now. It's just so hard though, like running up hill all the way.

"Why is that?" Uh, the "blue car" is a Kirkham, not a Shelby. I thought Mr. Estes' brushed aluminum finish CSX would be a better comparison, since both Evan's and Vern's have the extra $20 worth of plastic CSX badges that Dave's blue KMP doesn't.

Personally, I'd rather buy/own the "blue car", because I'd rather have the extra $100,000+ in the bank PLUS get the dry sump. But that's just me.

I wish Dave's had the little CSX tag I would try an just roll it over in a few years. I would prefer more of a stocker., See different opinions again

Any reason you wouldn't buy the blue one and put replica CSX badges on it then?
I mean isn't that what a 4000 series is?

Well I, for one, am shocked and dismayed that you would even suggest such a ruse.

Dave's Blue KMP is simply stunning. So is Evans car, both are prime examples of a Cobra. Does anyone know if the Aviaid Dry Sump requires modification to the KMP footwells?
Thanks
