When AMF bought Harley Davidson the desirablity and the value of of HD went down a bunch. There were plenty of inventories and even though it was basically the same bike, no one seem to want them.

It didn't hurt the value of pre-AMF bikes a bit. Actually they became more in demand.

This won't be the first time a corporate buy out will seem wrong, but it will all be good on the long run.

Between Jaguar and Ford, one would have thought Jaguar should buy Ford.
Rolls Royce should have acquired VW. Not the other way around. Yet these things happen, and it is usally good that they do.

If some of the CSX4000 owners could go around thinking their cars were the Real Cobras, it is time for the FFR owners to share in that delusion.

If this is true, it will give Shelby the much needed mass marketing they lack. It will also help FFR the respect they seem to lack.

It won't make the existing cars any better or worse, it just will be a milestone on the calender.

If you have a FFR already, you should celebrate. But don't put it on EBay because NOW they are Really worth $70,000.

If you own a CSX4000 like me, enjoy the car and hopefully one day if you have to sell it, others will recognize them for what they were. Just another Cobra built during Shelby's reign.

It is not time for the cyanide capsule yet.
