CSX 4813 For Sale Over on the SAAC Forum
 
No affiliation, just passing it along to the enthusiasts on this site:

1965 Shelby Cobra CSX4813

Black, fiberglass body, no stripes, KC alloy 482, Tremec, 321 miles, $115,000.

Seems like a reasonable deal. "Engine block stamped with the serial #4813." So that makes it worth much more. Ya, know, it's got "matching #'s" and all.

I know I've mentioned this delusional line of thinking in prior threads. :LOL::rolleyes:

Finally a csx priced fair. Not inflated because of the name.

School me: why is this replica worth almost twice that of most other fiberglass replicas? Better quality components/fit/finish? Carroll's signature? The floor mats? What?

fordracing65 08-02-2016 04:46 PM
It sells for more because it costs more to build. The csx roller is the most expensive and their are people out there that have to have that csx name and numbers.

The fit finish on an SPF are better than a csx.

Why? It's "numbers matching." **):LOL::rolleyes:

Can you imagine if you blew up the original Keith Craft alloy 482" engine and had to replace it? I'd actually think about pulling out the original "numbers matching" engine and installing a replacement engine. Say like a Cammer! :D

That's about the best answer one could offer without recreating The Epic Meltdown Thread of 2015. :LOL::eek:

Gotcha. I always wondered what the big deal was. Ah well....numbers matching is always important. hahahahaha

Uhhh, refresh my memory. Exactly which thread was that?:confused:

Did original CSX cars (2000 and 3000) have their CSX numbers stamped on their 260,289, 427, 428 engine blocks? If so was it done by ford when the engine was built or done at Shelby prior to installation.

You know, the one that was the beginning of the end for Nevan. 60 +/- pages worth.

As far as I know, no original chassis numbers were stamped into engine blocks. The registry doesn't list the block as a location of the chassis number and the chassis number was assigned by AC Cars prior to the engine installation. Early chassis (up to approx 2170) didn't have chassis number tags. Subsequent chassis had an aluminum tag attached to the footbox with the chassis number stamped at AC Cars. The tag also contained the engine number, assigned at Shelby America when the engine was installed and was stamped by SA.
I'm not sure if the 3XXX series chassis were done the same way or not. I don't study the coil spring cars much.

Because it's sold by Shelby no other reason

Because everything comes lubricated with genuine, Carroll Shelby snake oil. :LOL:

For the record, I clicked on the link and the ad states SOLD. Ad was edited on 8/25/16.

Why would the fit and finish on a SPF be better when SPF also makes the Shelby?

That is not my experience.

I also see you have two (2) posts. The answer to your question, and almost all of the other ones that will come to mind, can be found by using SEARCH. This topic has been covered MANY times and there is no reason to diverge this topic into yet another rehashing of it.
