After all, it is their money and not mine.

Bill,
So Shelby has a brand name. They also seem to have more of a marketing department than other manufacturers. They have had some bumps in the road in the past where people were worried that they might not ever get the cars they put deposits on. But Shelby has gotten their act together for quite a few years now. Sure they charge a premium for their cars, but more power to them if they can do that and keep their business running.
All of this is a relative matter of how much disposable income you have for purchasing a Cobra. I am sure that there are members of this forum that have managed to put together their hard earned money to get an FFR, who think that ERA or Kirkham owners must have been nuts to spend the extra money on their toys. Such an FFR owner might say "I have been watching ERA and Kirkham since they have started. Have you seen how much ERA charges for its deluxe rear suspension and I just cannot fathom what Kirkham changes for an aluminum hard top."
At a high enough disposable income level, a Shelby 50th anniversary model might make perfect sense to someone. That someone is just not you or me.
