Pat,

I think you are onto something. There might be a huge arbitrage opportunity for you with this. Vis-a-vis the Shelby CSX price increase, you could buy up as many new SPF rollers (or "kits"--if Ernie is reading this) as possible, and then sell them on the market at $5k below the new Shelby price for CSX cars (positioning the SPFs as "authentic" Cobras that are licensed by Shelby).

You could probably sell the SPFs at the same price as the CSXs if you added dual roll bars with that authentic-style foam padding!
