I believe there is one available on Cobra Country. CSX 4273. http://www.cobracountry.com/cobra4sa...4273/home.html

Jim, Thank you for the lead. I believe the color would have to be changed for me and the price seems a little optimistic.

Asking $160K for a CSX with Black Cherry paint may be optimistic, since I would think most aluminum CSX buyers would have to budget a complete repaint.
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. |

He just posted a couple of hours ago in this thread: Why do people sell their Cobra? and gave no indication whatsoever that his car was for sale. In today's market I would think you could get a decent deal, uhhh with those rebuilt carbs and all, and maybe he'll throw in a couple shots of Kate Middleton, too.  |

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...

You love it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a picture of it up on your wall at home. Remember this? Big block or small block? |

A steal? For that kind of money, I'd want to see a set of real MAGNESIUM Halibrands. 
Personally, I'd rather have paid $110K for the black Cammer CSX everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.
Obviously, just my humble opinion, but someone looking for an aluminum CSX will want a traditional Cobra color like say blue, black, red, etc.

...but I love the look of the black cherry... all it needs is the 2 polished racing stripes down the middle, to match & set off all those other shinny bits. Now that would look seriously cool, not quite retro texan cigar smoking cool, but more Hugh Hefner in a robe & slippers, smoking a pipe cool
