Shelby's CSX4000's and 6000's use Kirkham bodies. Just a an approximation, but of the 600 Kirkhams produced, 250 +/- were delivered to Shelby, at least that's what I remember the Kirkhams stating in a thread some time ago.
I know that the body is identical... but: why should I pay around 30K more for a Shelby compared to a Kirkham, when the qualiy, craftmanship and the "people behind Kirkham are at least as good as "Shelby"?

Sorry, but it's important for a "swiss farmer": both, the Kirkham and Shelby are registered in the same registry? They have just another VIN?
