Ernie,,

He ain't Picasso. Shelby built 1100 cars and that's it... Those 1100 cars will always be worth a lot of money...Shelby is not personally building these new replicas...He's still alive and building replicars..Picasso did originals until the day he died.. Some will have sentimental value to a buyer but for the most part I can't see these replicas going crazy in price... If people are buying these cars as investments I don't see a big payday here...
The 62 through 66 Cobras have already become objects of art. Carroll Shelby quit building the real Cobras long ago.. If it wasn't for the replica builders that picked up the torch and built cars Shelby would be a footnote in regards to the Cobras.. It's possible that the replicas that have been built over the past 25 years are the reason that the originals are worth what they are.
The replica manufacturers are the ones who made the Cobra what it is today....
