The aluminum roller is $135,000 plus options. So, after buying an FE and a trans plus all the miscellaneous and extraneous nonsense, that's not a lot of profit for the dealer on an $185,000 sale.

Some interesting points ;

1. The 4000 series cherry car , is remarked in the registry as being painted that color from the get go, so changing the color probably would put it in a nebulous state of collector classic as a color-change car.

2. Aluminum CSX 4000 could be built in one of 4 places in over 15 years of production.

3. All of Gregory's cars are glass , he doesn't floor / stock aluminum cars

4. Call Steve Parini at Denbeste motorsports , and order your roller . They probably have something you will like with a K chassis.

as my German grandmother used to say ; " buy quality , it's cheaper "

Steve

I see the black cherry csx car is sold on cobra country. It seems a lot of cars are going to buyers overseas. Why do you think that is? I of coarse kind of track csx cars because you just never know.

I'd guess its because of your dollar, and the increase confidence of buying over the internet.

US "quantitative easing" policy as per the FED through Ben Bernanke means for example our Aussie dollar has gone from buying about $0.60 to now trading at over parity at %1.03. It's a similar story for the Swiss franc.

there is NO PROFIT for a factory-authorized Shelby Cobra dealer at 185k turn-key on a CSX 4000 alumn car / I think that text w/price is many, many years old...........
