Yep, I caught that too.

But that isn't near as bad as when the little blonde gal described the "World Renowned Bike Builder, Jessie JACKSON (from West Coast Customs)" when she was sitting on the Steampunk looking side hack.

And that was just one of many...

6162 was a Shelby Parts and Restoration/Jim Cowles/P13 car. There were many more difference$ between the cars then just the windshield, including significantly more $ in the drivetrain.
That said, the Acton windshield was a nice touch. The car came with both windshields.

Can you please elaborate on what "more $ in the drivetrain" means then? Thanks.

Jim,

One thing you have to do for me, please stop talking about yourself in the "third person"

Hey Bill I think it's Jesse, he does a good job running the show so Jim can do what he knows and loves. You guys know you can buy a $30 mirror or a Raydyot, if you can find one, for a lot more. It's details like that and Lucas headlights, 16" wheel and so the big dollar correct detail goodies quickly add up to someone that knows to look for them and sees the value in them.

I promise there was no alcohol involved in the bidding....at least that's what I told my wife!! I skipped over CSX6160 at $105k Friday, which seemed like a good price, thinking that I would wait until later in the evening and pick up the race-dressed CSX6162 for a little more. Wrong!! I stopped at $145k and it hammered at $147k plus buyer premium. I have to say the car looked much nicer that the stock dressed cars but there was much more to the car that I still think made it worth the money.

I waited patiently until Saturday and picked up CSX6170 at a great price with 13 miles on it. It's been sitting in the Scottsdale JetPort for well over a year as a Barrett Jackson & Planet Conra promo car. I'm back in the club after selling my Hurricane Cobra last fall.

Welcome back and congrats.

Bill: this is my club cobra handle - I rarely come here only when someone sends me a link. Jesse is P13 as he runs the online show there. If you compare the cars at BJ - all the cars that went for 100 and change had used engines in them and whatever they could buy at Auto Zone to finish them. The car we did had a 568 HP all aluminum Shelby block , heads, intake, water pump and was blueprinted and Dyno tunes by one of the best engine shops in the country (not The Shelby Engine shop!) original Ford dual point, metal ceramic coated exhaust, both windshields, Lucas PL headlights, lowered to proper specs, radyot mirrors, new 5 speed, cast alloy Cobra covers. ported heads, roller cam and lifters, stroke to 468 if I recall. all parts in the engine were new parts, not rehashed 50 year old stuff. Car was tuned on a chassis dyno after the install was complete. We sweated the details and it showed on the block. 2 of the guys that bought the other cars have already contacted us about purchasing parts that we had used on this car. It was by far the best car there including the ones parked outside on display

Jim, nobody ever doubts you put out an outstanding finished product (ok, maybe Pardee ).......
