One more reason to 'upgrade' my car's fiberglass body.

I'm going to suggest that the Kirkhams develop a 'fiberglass CSX rebody package' deal. Those 50 or so, $39,000 cars could be converted to $124,000 cars for about $25,000-$30,000.

Hey David, if you need a 'poster child' car for your new CSX re-body program!

P.S. At these prices the re-body idea becomes more appealing every day!

trev, does bring up the dreaded question of "how much of the original body must remain beore it is considered not a real CSX 4000 series , but a rebodied by an unsactioned vendor CSX chassis?" Jim

I'm pretty sure this would not be the first CSX car to be re-bodied by the Kirkhams.

Are only the 'sanctioned' Kirkham bodies going into the registery?

Besides, I thought that Kirkham being in the registry would 'sanction' them.

It's like dying your hair, "only your hairdresser knows for sure".

jdog,

Its only original (that is probably the wrong word) once. Haven't you noticed how some of the 60's era cars that have been rebodied or perhaps rebuilt from only a few remaining pieces, like the passenger side chrome headlight trim and a title are considered over restored. These over restored cars are often worth less than cars with mostly original parts. You may be the original owner of your car and might make these modifications early in the car's life, but when it comes time to sell it later, what will the buyer think? Perhaps, if you took the car back to Shelby and had them do the aluminum body and got that documented in the registry as a factory installed option, you might do better.

What a great circular arguement this is!

sounds reasonable to me
