Furman's car was/is exceptionally nice but it was on the market for eternity before it sold. If you're buying the car for a speculative investment, think twice because the cobra market is soft, gas prices are high and insurance premiums will soon be increasing. If your primary reason is to have a great time in a wonderful car and retain your investment when you decide to sell, the CSX investment is at the top of the list rivalled only by ERA's and SPF's.

I had no problem selling CSX 4148, nor any of my past SPF's but I bought them to enjoy rather than as an investment.

Best of luck with your search.

While any CSX 4000 car will probably never "drop" in value, I wouldn't purchase one with the intent of making money off reselling it at a later date, and a main reason for buying it.

CSX4092 is a really nice, well built, period correct type car. If you want a Shelby, it's a perfect choice. The price is a tad high IMO, but not too far off what I'd feel a good price for the car is. It's no bargain at 92k, but it's not a rip off either.

What it really comes down to, is if you want a CSX car, or just a Cobra. It mattered to me, so I made that choice.

If you look in my photo gallery you can see photo's of my car that I took at SAAC last Feb. She needed a few more parts (headers & side pipes) and to have the ball joints replaced, at that time.

The car is still there.
