Its "THE" original
Always CS owned.....
Unrestored, seat had Shelby's ass in it, coupe was redo...
It is the car that started it all...
I am guessing >GTO value
I'd argue that the Ferrari company and legacy is far more storied with a significant and successful racing history than Shelby American. I don't think CSX2000 will sell anywhere near $35-40MM.
And more importantly, Ferrari spawned one of the most famous movie lines in history, so it has that going for it too:

Agreed; however, this is definitely a special car, the markets are bloated, and you never know what might happen when drunk azzholes get together. It will probably be a generation before the car is available again. When dollars are used for toilet paper, the sale price might sound cheap.

CSX 2000 is a significant piece of automotive history and a very special car, but Shelby made 654 more of them, almost exactly like it. Further Shelby, Kirkham, Superformance and ERA continue to replicate Slabsides too.

Wow! I have seen it in person and sat in it. Gary Patterson of SAI said they used to keep trying to sneak it in the back and re-do upholstery etc and CS would have nothing to do with it. I was the "hands off" car at SAI...."leave it just like it is".

What about this story from King Cobra forum about injunction against auctioning it?
Isn't the timing of this just about the time of the Monterey auctions? Seems to me how the Foundation spends its money is a separate issue from if they have a right to sell the car. But I'm no lawyer

Since the car is an asset of the Trust/Foundation I think the issues are very much related. If I'm challenging how the money is being spent I'd want to prevent them from gaining access to several million in cash until the first issue is resolved.
