As somebody who has really been looking at CSX prices, and as mentioned in a few other posts, there seem to be many relatively new and unsold 4000/6000 fiberglass series completed car out there between the $115 to $125k range. I have no doubt that cars priced in this range likely reflect the quality of the bits put into them and the care taken with their assembly. Really hope that the folks selling these cars can get their asking price.

However, if others are like me, while I appreciate the pedigree and of course the CSX chassis number, I start questioning the value given what else I could buy for the same price. In my case, a 2002-2004 Ferrari 360 Modena or a 289FIA Kirkham (still struggling with this decision and admittedly, very different rides).

As is the case with many objects of lust (well at least I lust after these things), everything unfortunately seems to have a price point. Given the continuing state of the economy and perhaps the long term impact that the last couple of years have left with some of us, beginning to believe that the price point for even the nicest reproduction (with a stated belief that only CSX 2000 and 3000 stamped chassis are real) is now somwhere south of the $95k mark.

If I am right, these things are going to be on the market a very long time or end up going to auction where they will sell for whatever the market thinks they are worth.

Only my opinion...
