Yes, automatically. We've had this debate over and over again. And I'm personally not interested in debating it again.

Any Cobra built and sold after 1967-1968 is a replica. Shelby has been building replicas since the 1990's. As Evan used to say, check your SAAC Registry.

WTF is a "toolroom copy" anyway?

$300,000 Euro for a replica? You can buy one in the US for $200,000 or less. Allegedly, Evan sold his CSX4206, which was claimed to be one of the best Cobra replicas for $228,000-ish (?) IIRC, BUT someone here on CC with knowledge of the transaction said it sold for much less.

There are no perfect replicas. The materials used in the Year 2018 didn't exist in the Year 1962-1968.

Hey crendonman427sc !!!!

Having fun yet?




Guys,
Considering the age of that glass CSX that just sold, I'll bet he had less than $90k in it. I think that VIN went back quite a few years, no?

Yes, as I said, if you bought a long time ago, like me, and sold today, you might make some money. But glass CSX rollers, last time I heard, were $115,000. If your building one today, with engine, trans and all the other details, what could you sell it for after finishing the build and driving it around a little? CSX4753 sold for $99,000 or less.

I suggest you do some research and "inform yourself."

I'd suggest you START here. Jamo closed this thread after 64 pages. Read it and become informed:

Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Anything built post-1968 is a replica. Period. End of argument. Everything else is a copy, reproduction, facsimile, replica, etc.
