One man's Beige is another man's Cherry.;)

But plan to spend $130,000-$150,000 for any completed and sorted aluminum CSX. A top notch fiberglass CSX in BLACK with an original SOHC engine sold for $110,000 at auction recently in Monterey.

I wasn't aware that Evan (REAL 1) is selling his aluminum CSX. If so, then you should buy it.
I am not sure about the CSX prices at auction v. not at auction but I know the Ferrari prices tend to be greatly inflated at auction (especially Pebble Beach).

-- the color is subtle, neutral, and not the least bit overpowering. It has an elegant, strong hue, that is naturally highlighted by the black stripes and accents.
It's freakin' BEIGE...:rolleyes:

I would have to agree. I got caught on a sour deal and went from hot to cold. I had bought a car after having sent the deposit (substanial) and booking the flight to pick up the car only to find the car was sold (post my deal/contract) and delievered to someone in Chicago. The seller wanted to keep my money and stay in his deal with the person in Chicago.

Anyway, at this point, a black aluminum CSX in sorted condition would be first pick followed by blue car. I just like the idea of aluminum after having had a number of Corvettes. The CSX just adds a little bit of pedigree.

You love it.;) Otherwise, you wouldn't have a picture of it up on your wall at home. Remember this? http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/1167176-post45.html

Please stop posting gratuitous pics of that rolling blight in the threads of innocent people.
...and I face that picture every day while urinating in that room.:(

Glad to see it helped you give up your catheter. http://www.capitalareacobraclub.com/...ve1/2funny.gif

It's still morning on the West Coast, patrickt.
Maybe a fair warning next time? :eek:

And to think some of us were actually enjoying this thread until patrickt ruined it (again).:rolleyes:

To the OP, I hope you find what you're looking for. Check with Hillbank, as they had a solid blue alum CSX in their showroom not too long ago. Customer car but didn't have a For Sale sign on it. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I think you should have listened to Walt and painted it purple with pink polka dots. That paint job would have taken the viewer's eyes away from the eyesores known as your 2nd roll bar and the red & blue connectors in the engine compartment. :LOL:

Here's a black CSX, but fiberglass:

This new, special Shelby Continuation Cobra, is among the finest builds in recent times. The owner of this Diamond Black Beauty, is the owner of the Eight Stack Fuel Injection Company that is featured on this all aluminum 482" 640 HP Engine. The owner is also personal friends and a business associate with Robert Pond and he asked Robert Pond to personally build this tremendous 640 HP all aluminum engine with the new Eight Stack Fuel injection. He also asked Mr. Pond to oversee the engine and drive train installation and the completion of this great car.


... and yet he's selling it without even putting 750 miles on it. Like we've never seen that before....:rolleyes:

So, back on track................ is it an aly car that you "must" have or a "CSX"?
Both is ~$150k any way you slice it, new or used. Steve Becker may still have a new black aly roller, finish it your way, you are original owner, I believe he wanted ~$140ish.
CSX painted glass roller new is ~ $80, again, finish it your way.

Now for value, an unpainted Kirkham is CURRENTLY (not sure how long that will last) about half the price of a Shelby aly roller. As you probably know they build 'em for Shelby.

Hope that helps.

Best, Bret.

I get the strong feeling that the OP wants an aluminum CSX at a fiberglass CSX price. And I don't think that will happen now the economy seems to be improving. Maybe back in 2008, when things were in the dumper-roo. I sincerely doubt it now.

bret a ewing 09-21-2012 11:02 AM
.............then nevermind.;)

Sure! Let me know if you know of one.
I doubt I would be so fortunate. I want Aluminum and a CSX is icing on the cake. Black is the number one choice. Most owners tire of their cars at some point. I would rather buy used at a somewhat depreciated value than buy new and take the big hit.
Still looking but I must say, I saw some photos of a beautiful blue car.

The tricky part is the "somewhat depreciated value."

This place seems to have a few including a couple that are black. I don't know if any are aluminum.
