I wonder if the Shelby small block cars have the 3 inch frame with the buggy springs or if they are like the "hybrid" small block cars from Kirkham with the 4 inch frames with coil overs.

There are certainly people who buy Acuras over Hondas or Lexus over Toyota. I have a Honda.
According to the 50th anniversary ad, the Shelby frames are the 3" variety. Kirkham can supply either the 3" or the 4" hybrid to their customers.
