Trying to swing purchase CSX4000/6000

What a great thread! Does anyone know how much SPF prices went up after they signed the licensing agreement with Shelby? Seems like you could figure how much they paid for the license with that. I would really like to know how the list price has changed over the years on the SPF.

My guess is that pricing didn't change that much, but volume may have gone up.

I was told that for every new SPF chassis sold shelby gets $1K.

I am still having a hard time getting my arms around someone who has never owned a Cobra going to a $100k plus one before they know how raw they are UNLESS you are just RICH. I like them though because I am the one low balling them when they burn their legs, the garage stinks like gasoline, their big bellies bump the steering wheel, then worse their wife burns her legs blah blah blah

I bought a Kirkham, my first Cobra, and very expensive, in 2007. I have no plans to ever sell it.

Of course, if a very nice person, with a 1962 Ferrari GTO or California Spyder, wants to trade me even up, then...well...you know.

EDIT: Oh, and I never drove or smelled one or even played with the wipers before I bought it. Max, please don't put your arms around me either.

Yes, if you buy the top-of-the-line car you're going to like what you get (because it has pretty much everything). But you might not like what you pay....

EDIT -- Don't make me mention the thread of the one who must not be spoken of....

Who does? There are no free lunches.

Everybody knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing.
