shelbymotorsports Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 1988 CSX-T #475 sold for $21,000 at the Palm Beach B-J auction back in April 2010. I'm guessing the seller wont be buying anymore Shelby Dodge cars after this experience. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black86glhs Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I know cars are open to who wants what, but I do not understand why they went for so little. I know they aren't super rare muscle cars or racing cars, but really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would have loved to have purchased the GHLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I know cars are open to who wants what, but I do not understand why they went for so little. I know they aren't super rare muscle cars or racing cars, but really? In the Shelby Dodge world those prices would not be considered "so little". Shelby Dodge cars routinely sell for just several hundred bucks and are usually worth more in parts than as a whole. Its just a reality that has to be accepted. While that's the bad news, the good news is that SD owners are a passionate group of owners and should be commended for that. Even Carroll was passionate til the end about the the Dodge cars he was involved with. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Mopar Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Here in the north, clean, rust free Shelby Dodges are rare, so I know plenty of guys that pay $4k-5k on decent ones....and those cars are still probably not clean on the same level as those cars. What did the buyer originally pay for that CSX, anybody know?? that's one I would luv to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Mopar Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) opps! I breezed through that post...never realized the $21k was what he paid. Holy crap!! Why wouldn't he have sold it w/reserve?? I wish I could have been there, I would have gladly spend the $7700 it sold for.
