I consider the connection to be extremely distant at best. And then the Kirkham quality and customer service were excellent.
So, where does the "Shelby replica is not worth it" come from? Well, for instance the 50th Anniversary Shelby 427SC replica roller is $180,000. Kirkham supplies the entire roller to Shelby. You buy it at the same price painted or polished. $180,000. The Kirkham polished roller to the public is $115,000. There may be a few options that I'm not clicking off, but otherwise it's the same car for additional $65,000.  so that's the Genesis for the "Shelby is not worth it" crowd.
But I'm very happy that you're a satisfied customer of Shelby. Best of luck.

Hey Shelby is in it for the $$$ ???? Hell ya !!! $$$$ makes the world go round. If someone wants to pay it who cares ?? Want the CSX plaque ?? Good.. If ya don't then keep walking. Look at Ford with its Fusion. Lincoln MKS is the same damm thing with a better dress on it !! Ya I bought that to.
