True, but a few posts ago SomeDayAurora was comparing a Kirkham roller to a CSX aluminum roller and wondering about the price difference.

you could put a "krylon" paint job on a CSX and still get more for it than what you would get for a Kirkham........that CSX is where the extra $$$$$ come into play.

Doesn't matter how much you pay for it, when asked if it is "real/original" you still get to say "nope"!

[bdeutsch]

I think on another discussion string, someone mentioned that there is an installation kit that sells for an additional $12k for the CSX series cars. Highly recommended for somebody who is going to do the installation of the engine and drivetrain on their own.

So, if you add this to the asking price of a roller, the real cost will be somewhere around $61k (+/-).

Wow, that's hurts.

Shelbys will soon come into their own. They are starting to already. They are already recognized at many auctions as REAL Cobras in the continuation series.

There aren't any other Fiberglass cars that are genuine Cobras other then those from SAI and certainly none other then Shelbys that fetch high 5 figures or even into the 6 figures. That alone speaks volumes as to how the public perceives them.

The fact that no other fiberglass cars fetch those numbers is because they are not Cobras at all, just cars that look like Cobras which is only skin deep. Beyond that many are as far from a Cobra as a dune buggy without any Shelby pedigree.

Per SAAC and growing public perception while Continuation series Cobras are not original Cobras they are real/genuine Cobras none the less. The only ones here that don't seem to "get it" are interestingly enough those that don't own a Shelby. Hmmm. Funny how that works. Wonder whats motivating those opinions when the facts clearly support what I've said.

When people ask me if my Cobra is original I tell them "yes sir, absolutely, its a Continuation series Shelby Cobra, CSX 4206". True and factual.

If you want a Cobra you have only three choices: Original Series, Continuation series or a Kirkham Cobra outside of the AC variants. End of story. The rest are pretenders.



Takes care.

All I want is an immediate 7-day ban from this site if someone says "but I thought the Superformance is a Shelby, since he licensed SPF the Shelby name."

Ernie and Patrick, please, move along. Nothing to see here.

Hummppphhh. I'll have you know that, instead of throwing gas on this fire, I posted an informative tutorial in the All Cobra Talk section. So there.

RodKnock........i was not throwing rocks at Kirkham owners or their cars...........
they are a very nice and well built car BUT they are still just a copy........
i DO NOT tell people my car is a Shelby because its not a Shelby......
I am very proud to say mine is a Midstates Replica........
i am not the type of person to wear a Timex and tell people its a Rolex......
i dont drive a Toyota and tell people its a Lexus........
my car is a Replica plain and simple as that...........

The price difference between a painted and unpainted Shelby roller was I think around $10K. They all come painted now however (glass).

[csx4910]

A csx roller can easily hit $65000 with all the options, not counting the install kit. (At least they were when I bought mine in 2008.) I know they are less now that some dealers want to get their old stock off the floor so I am sure they are not marked up as much. I was told by a reliable source that most delares profit int he roller is only $5-10K. Where they made and still make thier money is the install and in the engine/tranny combo.Every dealer is different as to what they charge for different options, install price depends on the engine/trans options etc.

$100k (+/-) for any specialty constructed vehicle (as defined by the State of CA) seems to be alot of money to me particularly when you look at what that same money can buy on the used car market. Recognizing they might not be a Cobra, but then again if I owned a Ferrari, Porsche, Viper, Aston Martin, etc., I might have a slightly different perspective.

At the end of the story though, particularly in the current economic environment, if you have $100k to spend on any toy, life is good me thinks....

Effective January 1, 2010 Shelby American Inc has raised the price of their aluminum CSX cars by 10%.

That means a regular aluminum component roller is now $ 124,900.00 and a built in England (hand rolled) roller is now $ 165,000.00

Fiberglass roller cars are still $ 49,995.00 FOB Las Vegas without any options, etc.

My dealership only orders HST built fiberglass cars so I never have to get stuck in the middle of the Superformance quagmire - and HST only builds cars for Carroll -

Now, who wants to order one??!
