Well when the buy in cost of a new one is going to be $210K+ depending on options and detail plus the excruciating wait for the aluminum roller to arrive from Shelby that helps the value of the used ones go up does it not???
Call the Continuation whatever you little hearts desire the facts are set forth in the SAAC Registry and their acceptance as genuine Cobras is a fait accompli by SAAC.
I don't see any kit cars or "replicas" (i.e non Shelbys) of Cobras going for anything near six figures let alone near $200K. I think the market has therefore spoken too.

Your seein what you want to see!!!!
.....it's not at all hard to find replica's ie; Non -Shelby cars in the Six figure bracket world wide ,maybe you need to do the search without the blinkers on and not request the proof when you actually know the facts are there right in front of you!!!! 
....But I'm more than happy with the size of my little pinky!!!

Really? Enlighten me. Post the cars and sale figures. Kirkhams don't count. They are "Cobras" per the Registry not "replicas".

No one is saying they are not real Shelby's. We are saying that they are not original Shelby's.
It's like saying my 2011 Shelby GT500 is an original Shelby GT500. It's not. But it is a real Shelby.
Shelby can price the cobras however they see fit. Those in the know won't bite.

1. Have you heard of any parties being thrown where no one shows up? Also, assuming the new roller price is indeed true, there's no documented proof of one being sold at that amount.
2. 
3. As recently as August 1, per CobraCountry, a black/red Kirkham was sold. Asking price was $115K firm. I should mention that it was used in a Maroon 5 video for a few moments. There are a few examples in memory where Kirkham's have been sold around the $100K figure (+/-). And the Kirkham's have mentioned a price increase in the future as well.

Really saves me continuing the ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz at the Alamo!!!
Ultimately it aint REAL1  if it aint 60's production...Continuation is Replication!!
You want to shell out or try to Justify $150/200K for the letters CSX on a replica....Wank factor!!....we'll keep making them and rais'n the $$$ because  keep buyin them!!!.....
If i were to spend that amount of coin I'll be payin that for a replica that has the workmanship and substance to warrant that type of dollar and there are few of those!!!
...... and not because it has CSX 4000 or later as a prefix and its on a registery so I can say its real1!!!

Possibly true... but more so, me thinks that flow on ramification is that it increases the wait list for a kirkham
I got no facts to prove it... but hey, why don't you try ordering one to just verify.
Just saying
