Allen: Hmmm. Interesting point. No one knows for sure what things will be worth or what will be worth more.

Both original Shelby chasis and the new ones have CSX #'s. The originals had 427SOs that had only Ford date code #s.

The "all" new Shelby 427 block utilizes a "new" CSX Shelby # not a FE code #s as original.

The counter argument is that since the new CSX is a literal clone of the original except new it is the same car. CSX #'s on the chasis like the original. For those truly wishing to "reincarnate" the original or create a real "time machine" going back to all '65 spec down to the last detail the only choice is the real deal, an original fire breath'n 427SO. Same car (except new and same engine exactly).

Counter point.
