I think the idea behind comparing the price for the AC MKIV with the Kirkham roller price is all about comparing to the nearest alternative option.

Both are aluminum. Neither are "real" Shelby's. One is ready to run with a 302, and the other is going to take the GDP of a small country to complete. If you're in the market for a Cobra and were considering a Kirkham...

It IS interesting that Kirkham has become a standard by which others are compared. I would think there would be more to gain by playing the "AC" angle, the heritage, the spawning into the Shelby Cobra, the second act, blah bla blah.

But...
