Yes, I am also waiting to see if it sells for that amount... I would be kicking myself for not asking more when I sold it to the current owner.
Thanks for the nice words Dave...
I have received about 40 emails over the past few months about it so I guess this is as good of time to answer some of the most common questions.
* I have no involvement in the current sale. I sold it to a collector in FL.
* The facts posted are not mine... they are from the current marketer
* Horsepower (when I owned it) is about 740 before the injection system and not likely any higher unless the new owner did something different to the computer or dyno. Injection adds torque but not much if any horsepower.
* Do a search on this site from Keith Craft about the engines he built for me and you will have the facts. CSX4331 had that Keith Craft engine in it when I sold it.
* No I did not make 4 more cars (reference to the 1 of 5 comment in the ad)
* No I am not Motion Motorsports (a reference to Baldwin Motion I guess) but the current marketer may just not have had that clarification.
* Yes it is a Kirkham body (#305 I believe) and it is one of the straighest you will find
I have tried to stay quiet on this because I don't fault anyone who tries to resell something but I wanted to clarify that it is no longer mine and I have nothing to do with the current sale. I don't know the marketer but I do not think he is trying to pull anything over on anyone because the car is pretty nice
(of course I am biased)
On another note... the Shelby/Kirkham market has softened a bit lately but there are signs of it coming back as I have 2 searches for aluminum Kirkhams right now ( a nice change over the past 6 months) for people with serious budgets. There is a very nice blue CSX on Ebay right now that is priced very well, and another polished Shelby for sale privately for $175K (webers, custom leather interior) so they are all over the board.
All the best.
