Last year, before the market, well you guys know...

Even as I looked at the continuation series I am seeing that some were made at shelby and now somewhere else. Does this matter in the end?
Does Superformance carry the same weight as Shelby continuation?
Why would I want one over another?
Do I want a Kirkham?

One needs to be a varitable encyclopedia

I'm working on that, but still have a lot to learn.
I still have a lot of questions??????

I do want to be around them this summer, that much I am sure of.
What is authenic? A made in the 1960's CSX 2000 or CSX 3000 series.

Even as I looked at the continuation series I am seeing that some were made at shelby and now somewhere else. Does this matter in the end?

I've read the claim that the early CSX 4000's (pre-4250 +/- or made in Las Vegas) are better and yield higher resale values, and this premium may exist, but I haven't seen any empirical evidence of that.

Does Superformance carry the same weight as Shelby continuation?

The Shelby continuation Cobras are considered more valuable and cost more.

Why would I want one over another?

What do you want in your Cobra?

Do I want a Kirkham?

One of the first questions you have to ask yourself, besides the "budget" and the "build versus roller" question, is do you want aluminum or fiberglass? Everyone has their own preference(s).
