If you can get a glass CSX car for $75,000, BUY IT! It's a steal! It would cost more to build today. You could still turn it into an alum. car for another $25,000.
Go look at what alum. Shelbys are selling for, TODAY!
rdorman, you'er not a math major are you? $40,000-$50,000 on an $100,000 investment is only 40%-50%, not 150%.
For the sake of argument I will admit that would be on a 'good day' at the auction. I'm pretty sure tha car would bring at least $125,000. Even if you only made $25,000- $30,000 profit, that's not to bad for a year of "hobbying"! How many guys can make a profit from there hobby?
I don't know of anyone 'loosing' money on a CSX car. Anyone?........?
Lets hear from some of the x-Kirkham guys. Did you make all of your money back? Anyone?.....?
Where's Turk?
I rest my case.
And for those who might say, what if the car does not sell? You can 'donate' it to a chairty and write off the current retail price of an aluminum CSX Shelby! Mo money! Mo Money!
Just pulling your leg, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, buy the Kirkham!

P.S. The point I'm really trying to make here is that you can have your cake & eat it too! There is a lot of 'room' in between what alum. Shelby's & glass Shelby's sell for. You could have an Kirkham alum body & CSX number on the dash for a lot less than Shelby is asking for the same thing!
