Steve, no question about the value of having that CSX number, and a low one at that, REGARDLESS of HOW the car got the number.
As I've mentioned before: If I'm fuzzy about what constitutes a "real" Shelby car now, what will it be like when C.S. passes on? And I wish him a LONG and PROSPEROUS life!!!!!!
Will that be all there is? Will "real" Shelbys be no more, forever? It may well happen that way. It's tempting enough to BUY a car for the SOLE reason it DOES have a CSX number. Perhaps, for nothing more than the investment potential. And you get to drive it too???? It can't get any better than that!
Elvis has left the building, but his LEGACY continues to make BIG money. After Enzo passed there was a heck of a spike in prices, now slowing and/or falling off for most of the Ferrarri models, but NOT all! Clearly the original 60's car's will climb into the stratosphere with time. What will become on the "also rans" with CSX numbers, the glass body cars, etc.? I think they will do OK, maybe better? Wish I had a crystal ball here!
