I thought that was kinda cool. Additionally, whenever Kirkham sells a body alone on ebay, he advertizes it as "capable of re-skinning an original Cobra", although I don't have any numbers on how many, if any, original Cobras have had this treatment. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that McClusky, Panel Craft or Hi-Tech or others had there work gracing the shiney side of an "original AC" Cobra....
Just food for thought.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what this has to do with my post you quoted earlier.
I simply stated that the new reproduction cars will be a touch more authentic than that of the current SAI Shelby's. Sure, if I had an original 60's chassis motor/trans drive train, cockpit, and all it needed was a body, it would be worth a lot more than a new SAI car. I'm not getting your point here.
