Guys,
I have to agree with Evan here...I've had the oppertunity to view and inspect (hell even drive) several all original Cobras over the past 20+ some odd years I've been afflicted with ""Cobraitis". Not one of them is identical to the other....Not even those that were built in numerical series with one another......That was, and still is the beauty of the original "60's built" Cobras...........
As for the Kirkhams, I wish that every other large business in the USA would strive to have the same values and work ethic that Kirkham Motorsports shows.....At least based on what I have seen on this forum, and heard from the current and past owners of their products.....On this, nothing else needs to be said as far as I'm concerned..............
My only two cents worth on this thread.....
Sincerely,
Bill S. & Family

Did you guys ever closely examine an original? Whats produced today by Shelby directly or by Kirkham as a source supplier for Shelby is heads and tails above original stuff.
Stop b i t c h 'n and enjoy your cars.
I agree 100% with Deacon and Serendip.
Original Shelby's will always be worth more IMHO than Continuation Shelby's. Continuation Shelby's will always be worth more than replica Cobras. Period. The Kirkham will benefit as to resale based on its connection with and by virtue of the fact it is Shelby's main source for alloy cars. It has that added "status" of its Shelby connection.
