I know there are some CSX continuation owners who purchased the aftermarket Shelby blocks and then had them stamped the same number as their CSX # so they could have "matching numbers." Drinking too much of the "Kool Aid"?
My '66 427 Corvette lost its original engine before I owned it, so I installed a Tremec TKO 5speed and a 540ci engine with a Dart block, IIRC. So matching alternators, starters, tranny, engine, hose clamps, radiators, etc. did not matter one iota to me. And I'm sure that's why the CSX plaque on a Kirkham body matters NOT to me.
I'm thinking Evan's CSX4206 is about a $175,000-$180,000 car or roughly a $20,000-$25,000 premium over Vern's CSX that was asking $160,000. And I'm giving the black paint of Evan's car extra value. But while I love black Cobras, I personally prefer alloy Cobras to be "bare naked." Why not show off that gorgeous body?
