CSX4000 roller for $39.9K?

[computerworks]

There is no mystery, nor 'new' news here.. if this is indeed the South African product.

CS talked about it at the dinner at SAAC in May... with a hint that it would roll out "in about three months"... which is now.

CAV, in South Africa, has had a cross-manufacturing/marketing deal with SAI that was announced in April, headlined with CS getting a CAV GT for himself.

From the CAV press release:

"...In 1997, production of the CSX 4000, the 427S/C component units, began in Las Vegas. With the exception of a fibre glass body, they followed the original design right down to the last rivet.
In late 1998, Shelby took the first order for the 289 FIA CSX 7000 component units, and introduced the roller unit, which was simply a more completed assembled unit, in both 427 and 289.

Presently only the 427S/C is being manufactured by CAV, with shipment commencing in May 2003."


However, if the book price is indeed $39K (and this is not a onesy-twosy intro deal)... they are gonna sell more than a few of these!
