Like it or not, the CSX Continuation cars continue to bring the money. Hard to understand, but if you were lucky enough to buy one 10 years ago you are a happy guy if you are now looking to sell.
$115,000-ish seems to be the going rate for fiberglass CSX's. Here is a black CSX (4813) that sold last year around the same amount. Now CSX6012 at $126,000 (w/buyer fees) could represent an uptick in the market (or not), since there was no documentation of the engine and the engine is a '64 top oiler. Maybe black just gets premium in the market.

But I think all prices have risen with the roller price increases. Roller prices for Kirkham's were $50,000-$60,000 about 10 years ago and now they're $100,000. About the same for fiberglass CSX's.

Aren't SPF rollers now around $60,000 and about 10 years ago, I think they were roughly in the high $30K's low $40K's.

As they say, "a rising tide lifts all boats."
