The Continuation series detractors, usually those who don't have one, tend to slant the picture to their liking.

Hi Evan,
I'm still trying to get through that first paragraph above. (I'd pay some serious cash to read through your Bar exam!)
Face facts. The Continuation Series was based on the premise that the cars' chassis and bodies were fabricated by AC during the sixties. As the joint letter signed by Carroll Shelby and Brian Angliss clearly states that they WERE NOT.
You are free to pay whatever you want for a CSX number, but please do not imply that most Continuation Series detractors are jealous non-owners. Many of us, while able to write a check for one, JUST DON'T WANT ONE.
For me, any non-CSX2000 or CSX3000 Shelby Cobras are at best the bowling balls of the CSX Cobras. (Apologies to AMF - they make a FINE bowling ball!)
Perhaps the people who can't afford a REAL CSX2000/3000 are slanting the picture to their liking by thinking they can join the ranks of Shelby Cobra owners for 30% of the normal buy-in.
You know Evan, if you spent 10% of the time you wasted on ClubCobra defending 4000 series cars on your law practice, you would have racked up enough billable hours to buy a 3000 car a couple of years ago!
