CSX1000, 4000, 7000, 8000 / CSX4774
March 05, 2025, 09:12:28 PM
I just bought CSX4774.  I pick it up this weekend.  I'm excited.

I have a Contemporary that I absolutely loved, even though nearly everything was wrong with it - too much to list.  It suffered an engine fire.  Dashboard to radiator is toast.

At any rate, my rule is when I replace something, I have to upgrade it somehow.  I went to see an ERA that was much nicer in person than in pictures, but he also had CSX4774, which was also for sale.  I fell in love with both of them, but decided on the CSX.

If I knew how nice CSX Cobras were, I would have replaced the Contemporary years ago.  I thought, same thing, different badging, etc.  Not true.

If anyone needs half of a Contemporary, drop me a line.  I'm not going to try to fix it.  It's barely worth what it would cost to repair.  Not worth my time.  I'm keeping the good parts, of course - BBM 427, Tremec, etc.
