The analogy is not quite the same. Superformance produces the continuation GT40's under license from Safir. Ford produced the original GT40's. The continuation Shelby Cobra's are produced by Shelby American, which also produced the original Shelby Cobra's.
But they're all replicas though.

Having read some (perhaps too much) of this thread the first thought that comes to mind is 'mature adults don't need insults to communicate'.
Clearly, each individual has their own reasons and biases with regard to their preferences, and it seems some members have a lower tolerance than others with regard to their ability to accept and respect the view of others.
Let's keep this cordial and play nice with others.

I took the fact that he was the threadstarter into account.

I was talking to a Ford engineer at the F1 race in Montreal. Interesting history on aluminum bodied cars in the past. I didn't know next years F150 was going to be an aluminum body or panels.
Is there much of a record of any of the continuations being sold from the original owners?

In fact, since I'm feeling pretty good right now (just settled a class action suit favorably my defendant client), Evan and buddyg can come back in if they will simply keep the personal barbs to a minimum. Pretty please.

Hmm, now if SAI started selling Daytona Coupes based on the Kirkham Coupe, they would add a nice paint job, and a CSX serial number, but what would they charge for that? I bet they need to mark it up quite a bit. Would anyone say $300K? Maybe higher?

Is that the price of an aluminum CSX9000? I don't recall them being an exacting replica.
I was just checking the SAAC registry. At the time of publishing, it had the price of an McCluskey Daytona Coupe with a CSX serial number as starting at $350K.

I went to dinner with Mike the last time I was in LA - He is done building the coupes - Way to much time - I am not sure about Kirkham/CSX coupe - I would bet it would be really really expensive…….

Well, I guess they're ok for dainty little wrists. Panerai...when your wrists were being built up in the bathroom during puberty. Or... a ploprof.
