Evan,

I was at SAAC 27 and saw what happened to the poor guy who tried to line up his 4000 with the real cars for a group portrait. I vaguely remember him getting P.O'd and doing a reverse burn out. As REAL as it gets!

If you have time, please translate this:

"However, significantly part of the Continuation series provenance is in fact the originals themselves and the history of the its forefathers, the originals. "

I gotta know what it means! (And now, does it include SPF?)

Anthony,

Here's a reference: "Original" frames made
in Torrance, California. More like original Shelby BS.







AC cars never issued the "completion" chassis numbers to Shelby or anyone else. It was all a fairly tale. Amazing how time fogs up the truth! When called on the carpet, the most CS could claim was that the engines and transmissions werte built in the sixties.

Default csx 4000 series values. just some thoughts..

Hey just a fyi for the LUCKY og Cobra owners, My CSX 4000 ser (purchased in 1996 after selling 2 gt550's) has appraised for $30k above build cost when finally finished in 1998. 8 years later it appraised for $160k -double the build cost. Plus im the original owner and had every thing done the way I wanted from the get go - no modifying needed to get to race condition- I Just wish they had the better brakes when I built mine. ALSO value wise take in to fact that these were more Shelby than originals that had lots ties to the AC's. Early cars like mine used same parts suppliers as the 1/2 million dollar 3000ser left overs. And were put together at the small Vegas Shelby shop b4 they opened the track shops, also built by the prison workers who did csx3000 left overs and Imperial Palace's cars also. Unlike South African cars or kirkhams, early 4000s were lots more Shelby. Time may show these early ones as more valuable than later South African built 4000s and 6000s . Would you rather have one built in USA by Shelby or one built overseas with just the name attached on it?? Thanks for reading my thoughts.
