CSX8000 - "Stamped block number CSX8971 matches the car."
I was pointing out this idiocy IMO, of stamping an aftermarket block the same CSX # as the car. Talk about superfluous.
SPF Slabside - "These slab side Cobras built by Superformance under license from Shelby are nut and bolt exact replicas of the early 60’s Cobras that made Shelby famous, with the only difference being the fiberglas body."
"My engine is an original early 60’s “date coded” 289 motor rebuilt to new specs with all the best modern hi-performance components (Edelbrock aluminum heads, roller rockers, etc.) by Southern Automotive to put out 360 HP. If you look at the engine photos, you will see it has lots of billet goodies and is accurate in it’s detail to the original Cobras."
Nut and bolt exact replica? Really? A date coded 289 with lots of billet goodies? Really? The only difference being the fiberglass body? Really? Accurate? Really?
Dang - give me a few thou and I'll stamp the block with any number you want.
Got to love this thread.

Now, I wish I would have had my alloy Shelby block (931) stamped with my KMP #of 539. Matching #'s makes it worth more.
Just one of those things I find funny and a bit sad at the same time. Of course, the people who have had it done feel differently. And that's why they make more than one flavor of ice cream.
Maybe both of those cars were finished off site and have already been registered?
Maybe. But they better have, or can produce, the separate receipts for the engine, transmission and the installation by unrelated 3rd parties. Otherwise, CA is not an option.
Anything is possible with some American ingenuity.
I had separate and distinct receipts for the engine, transmission and installation, along with the sales receipt from Kirkham, and still felt the need for Vaseline during the numerous DMV, BAR and CHP appointments.
Now it looks like there's a value <deduction> of $170,000 for having painted the aluminum body.
BTW, my vague recollection is that Ned said that 1960's AC and Shelby values were around $600,000-$800,000, without decorated histories. So, the $400,000 asking price for that 7000 series FIA seems a tad high, no?

I wonder if Evan has been visiting with Gary P at SAI lately. I know he paid a visit to a certain "Bob" in FLA not long ago. Maybe researching where to put the new "benchmark price" and may have learned some things along the way?

Wait a minute, was that the goofy guy that was making aluminum Cobras and then substituting in pictures of Kirkhams? And then Mr. Mustang tee'd off on him and Jamo gave him a timeout?
So how long must we wait to see that nobody will pay the asking price. Furthermore, if the price is diminished much it proves that the inflated ego of our hero has degassed to the order of a well seated whoopie cushion. Lets see how long this takes.... I'm guessing he buys it from himself, at yet an even higher price! Or pay someone to patsy. I do hope this thought does not offend those who still believe in the "Real1".
