They are selling CSX cars for well north of $110,000.00 and they have no idea about a heater... I am very willing to make things right on my CSX but if you are buying a car with hopes on dropping in a motor... stay far away from hillbank or shelby american.

They don't install them. They are assembled at the factory in South Africa.

And it is ready to drop in an engine and trans, but the car was not built to your specs. Sorry about that but that's not Hillbank/Shelby American's fault.

no it NOT ready to "drop in an engine and trans" I could make a list of things I needed to fix. I love the car trust me, and at the end of the day it will be amazing. But some of the things they did while building the car in unacceptable. Hillbank and or shelby should go thru these cars before selling them.
Just the fact that Hillbank could not even provide info on a heater is amazing to me...then try to sell something for $1100.00 that is probably worth $200. I understand making money but that is unacceptable.

Aside from being an entertaining read, doing exactly that could very well save somebody else's rear who is not as savvy with their CSX as you are. I think some owners of these cars think that they are akin to picking up a new Camry from the dealer.

agreed!! This is why I am posting this, The CSX cars are cool for the VIN # and all that, and if built CORRECTLY worth a LOT more, but if you want a complete car to buy and "drop in a engine and transmission" buy an ERA or an SPF
