Just wondering, does anybody else suspect that this has as much to do with SAAC keeping track of Kirkhams that may morph into Shelbys than anything else?

Obviously, several have already been used to extensively repair / rebuild original cars, and at least one plastic 4000 series is now wearing an aluminum skin. I've heard that another KMS car was "upgraded" and given "Shelby" status (someone with personal knowelge of this can feel free to chime in here).

In anycase, us Kirkham owners can take pride in our cars no matter what. If SAAC wants to welcome us because the cars are such perfect reproductions...great!! If SAAC wants to recognize us because our cars are so close to original that there is concern that they may become "original"...great!! At least it recognizes the quality and accuracy of the Kirkham.

Given SAAC's history, I suspect the former. Is there anyone out there with firsthand knowlege of this?
