I do not believe the AC factor, or the CSX1000 series VIN give the car that much more value.
The source of the body bucks isn't that important to the value either. Even if they were the originals (which they were not), the value would have come from the original people pounding on them, not the bucks themselves. Heck, most original cars weren't shaped the same anyway. 
CSX1001 definitely has a place in Continuation Cobra history, and it's a rare car for sure. I just don't feel it's extra attributes add all that much to the dollar value.
I would put the value of a CSX1000 series in between an alloy CSX4000 car and a McClusky Completion car. |
Not often I agree 100% with Sal these days, but in this case just make it "X2"
