I have not seen one sale of a CSX4000 over $200K that has been published. Until I see a published sale or a bank wire transfer to an owner's bank account, I don't believe it. Hillbank is offering a BRAND NEW (2008) CSX4000 for $199,000. I'm sure it has and will continue to sit.

If we're comparing apples-to-apples, if I bought a BRAND NEW Kirkham, optioned it similarly to what I have now, and had Hall Fab put it together, then my OTD price would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $175,000. But so what? My car's value is not $175,000.
Improper use? Really? How so? Be specific please.
Excessive? Excessive is relative. My use is a direct corollary to the amount of CC BS spewed.

True. I have not sold my Cobra. I don't have plans to. Did have it sold but backed out 10 years ago to buy a FGT. Have had interest in the car from others in last year or so. Numbers they were willing to pay were over $200K. I was not selling nor am I now. Yes. I agree completed sales is was sets the market. I am just pointing out the interest and the extent expressed. The Hillbank car is not in the same league as CSX4206 in detail. Nice but not in the same orbit.

If there is a long wait for new Kirkhams and someone wants your car and pays $175K that's what it's worth. Supply and demand remember?
