Me too.

And all I was doing was relaying the information that was given to me at the time (some time in 2008-2009) by the then-president of Shelby American.

I did extensive research on which car to buy in seeing them my self, talking with Bill Denbeste, and more important Joe the engine builder for shelby engine co. he has personnally built dozens if not more of the vegas cars, the HST mexico cars and the HI-Tech SA cars, I can go into detail of the differences on the three if you like... I was simply stating my educated opinion on the topic. Why do you accuse people of "arguing"? "throwing rocks" perhaps you should put some thought on your comments before "throwing rocks" at me...

Mike,

You have a point. In retrospect, I did toss a stone your way. I didn't intend it that way. I was a little put off, as I believe you called MrMustang a troll. I find him a very valuable member. For that matter I always had a positive opinion of you too. It wasn't my job or place to intervene. Oh well.

I'm unaware of an unwritten rule forbidding bring up an old thread. It is, however, annoying when someone replies with an answer to a 50 yr old thread (obvious exaggeration) and everyone hopps on trying help someone who died 5 yrs ago. On the other hand, if a thread is relevant to something you need help with that seems fine to me.

Resurrecting an old thread to disagree reminds me of the Country Music song "I'm diggin up bones."

So in closing, I don't want to pile on, antagonize, or otherwise piss anyone off, in these stressful times. Sorry if I did that.

I still stand by the advice to make sure you understand what someone intended to say before getting your panties in a bunch. That's a general statement not aimed at anyone in particular.

Thank You rick, perhaps I am guilty of simply being board...cooped up at home, cant work on my Cobra because my intake manifold is on lock down in New Zeland...

That being said, I have done a tremendous amount of research on the CSX cars, This website is supposed to be "biased" it seems as if lots of people here bash the CSX cars, I have my opinions why but I wont "dig up bones" here... But thank you for your kind words.

I still can't figure out what that word was.

No replica is really an investment, but the short list you provided aren't bad in terms of retaining MUCH more value than a comparably priced showroom new modern car, (albeit nowhere near as practical).

With the government strangling the country into a forced depression, i think there are gong to be some real deals out there on actual collector cars that will likely appreciate once we pull out of this insanity (and if don't do it again every year)...

Id really like to pick up a nice galaxy R code one of these days if the right one comes along.

That's a very interesting subject. Well, a lot of the "older" car guys are no longer with us, and the younger generation seems to want tuners, and restomods. I know some of the desirable collector cars have decreased in value even before the covid-19. Boss 429's, 427 vettes , fuelies, Hemi's have all seem to come down in value from what I have seen. Obviously there are exceptions. What the future holds, i'm not sure.

someone perhaps an administrator on this site edited my post because I did in fact say $hite
