Default Score?

I guess I am a little surprised that a third of those that voted do far had no interest in the car. If you could have a dead on 289 for less than a glass replica 427?
I would like some verbal input of what would be the ultimate Cobra in detail and at what price.
It appear that most seem to have gotten excited at the 39K Shelby deal and at the 39K Kirkham deal. We all know the 427 drivetrain can cost another 20-25K and then some and so many have mid 50's in some of the other kits with 351 power.
I am sure ther are many with FFR's and and the like that start out inexpensive and end up in the 30's and 40's. Then the question is of course, will you ever get your money out when Shelby and Kirkham have come down to a more comfortable level that have attributes that are un matched in the industry.
Shelby in glass has their everlasting provenance with CSX designtion, registry, backup and support and Kirkham has their aluminum bodies and the ability to deliver an accurate reproduction as per the era for a great price.
Inquiring minds want to know. Plural(not just me)
