[REAL 1]

Mike: No question that you can build and ERA for less than you would have to spend on a SA CSX roller.

The SA CSX roller is just that, a finished roller from the factory. In fact I believe that the vast vast majority of CSX's today are completed rollers whether in glass or aluminum ala' SPF. Very few try to complete the CSX in component form due to the complexity of the build.

My question goes to comparing apples to apples i.e., finished and painted roller from the factory ERA vs. SA CSX cost.

As to future value. Nothing is for sure. Its all speculation and opinion.

In actuality, my guess is that in 20 to 30 years when our generation begins to lose interest in driving cares like Cobras and is looking to drive something that will fit the grand kids the generation behind us, the ricers will have very little interest in muscle cars from the 60's.

Bottom line. Buy what makes you happy not what you think will be an investment. There are much better investments available than these cars.
