While his car is indeed beautiful (as is yours), it was not built in the 60's, nor was it hand built by CS. At a meet in Hershey, he was overseen arguing with the staff about the pedigree of his car, waving a copy of his MSO (signed by CS) as "proof" of what the car was. I have "personally" witnessed at least 11 other "Continuation Series" owners across the county who have acted in a similar nature. Drinking the CS Koolaid of the time period and hoping their "Tardis" was in working order.
As for an ERA trade for a CSX, funny, but I knew someone with a beautiful yellow ERA once who lost a simple, local Mustang Club car show to an equally beautiful (but cleaner and more detailed) Factory Five Cobra. To show his disgust (and perhaps lack of better judgement), in the middle of the awards presentation (after he lost  ), he fired up his yellow chariot and proceed to do a large burnout out of the parking lot and on to RT10 west in Randolph, NJ, making a fool out of himself in the process(in front of 200+ witnesses of all age groups). Rumor has it he sold the car soon afterwards and ordered a jet black CSX4000 series in aluminum so that this never happened again..........

I'm so new at this. It is becoming more and more clear to me that a number of CSX continuation car owners bought their car for the wrong reason(s). If the above described behavior is true, then it is only understandable that CSX continuation owners may come across as arrogant, self serving, self grandiose, impostors. That type of behavior should be reprimandable in forums like this... With name and everything!
However I will challenge that those are rare birds. Maybe you know 12 because you're so active in the Shelby circle, attending events left and right. But I bet someone like me may meet one or two my entire life with my Cobra and I will call them out!
It is then my position that just because there are some jerks out there, pretending to be what they are not, it does not mean I and the guys here are in the same group. We are responsible owners telling some facts that do not deviate from the standard set forth by SAI and SAAC. We want to enjoy our experience as much as the other guy.
With that, I'm out of this one (hopefully
)
