A new Kirkham with a few options and a aluminum FE, has got to be $150 thousand.

This whole hobby has become ridiculously expensive. I just can't see the next generation pissing away six figures on these stupid cars. They're not even real. If you look at the prices for used CSX/KMS/ERA cars on Cobra Country it's absolutely nuts.

The only price increase I see is the pond block, your Shelby block at that price was 8 years ago, seems like with the new blocks at a lower price instead of Shelby or pond, buy a BBM or Side Oiler...

The Shelby block was $5800 a couple of months ago, IIRC, based on their website. At that time, the Pond block was $4700.

So, I take it that you won't be "investing" any new money in a color change for your ERA?

"They're not even real." Shhh. Hopefully Evan won't read this thread.
