But who knows.

Point of this thread is that while Shelby Aimerican can refer to the new car as the completion series these cars are NOT Completion cars and they can't change the facts no matter how many original parts they use if it's not cobra with an original chassis built circa 1965.
I think your early CSX4000 is high in the pecking order for sure. Certainly higher than the later cars (4000's and 6000's) IMO. However, I would think the AC CSX1000's and these "Resurrection" Cobras will be higher than the early CSX4000's, for the simple reason their frame and body, plus the various OEM and repro bits, would/will make them even more accurate and more valuable than early CSX4000's. Additionally, by virtue of giving them the designation of CSX3000's, that also will bring a higher value. And I also think anything put together by the Kirkhams will be unmatched in quality. Period.

That's my initial read based upon limited info. However, I do agree with you that a CSX3000 designation is wrong. How about CSX3000.v2?
