You pay more for the Shelby name and you get more for the Shelby name. No doubt about those two facts. Whether there's a difference between the "expense" of the name versus the "revenue" is unknown. I don't know the status of Sal's CSX4241, but he's asking $75K and two CSX6000's, Stephen Becker's CSX's, were sold about a month ago for $60K. Our own PANAVIA purchased a CSX4000 roller for $40K.

Personally, I think the sales price was WAY over the top for a fiberglass car when the gentleman could have had a beautiful alloy CSX for about the same amount.

As for the auctioneer's comments about replicas, if you read the monthly auction magazine "Keith Martin's Sports Car Market", he doesn't hold the CSX4000's or any continuations, tributes, clones, replicas, or whatever in high esteem and he has a large subscriber base of seasoned buyers and sellers.
