I don't have any question in my mind that Shelby's will move up in value over time (even the HST model that I have ordered). The question I have is when will I see my roller. There are about 70 of us in this very predicament and things are still very slow. Maybe 5 glass cars have been delivered in the last 6 months.

Having already built an engine, my choices are to cancel my order and buy a Kirkham that I suspect depreciates $10-15K after my build. Or do I roll the dice and hope to get my Shelby built at some point and see $10K or so of appreciation in the near term. Maybe if HST gets running, Shelby's will flow out and the value gets diluted a bit (at least on the fiberglass end). I think either of the choices will result in a great car from a driving perspective, but the Shelby should provide a better return if I ever need to sell the car (which I hope never happens).
