Well, they do prep and paint, don't they?
Forget dollars, how much profit (in percentage) would you charge if you were Shelby? 10%?  Yeah, right.
And getting a dead guy to sign an MSO is no easy task.

We have delivered both polished rollers and filed rollers to Shelby.
I personally knew Carroll Shelby pretty well. I also know many people who knew him well. I personally spoke with Carroll and dealt with him for many years.
I also know Joe Conway on a personal basis. He and I think very, very much alike. We have had long talks together. He is a constant improvement guy. It is in his DNA. I can't stress this enough. He is extremely dedicated to improving the Shelby brand and he understands high-quality parts are a bit more expensive. He has never once suggested we cut any corner--anywhere. On the contrary, he always wants to improve. He understands markets, metallurgy, brand, customers, vendors, etc. I quite enjoy working with them.
I would be damn proud to own a Joe Conway signed Shelby MSO. Joe cares.

A file finish Kirkham roller is $80K. A painted alloy Shelby is $160,000. A painted alloy 50th Anniversary Shelby is $180,000.
How much is prep and paint? $20K just for the sake of discussion? Well, whatever the final profit margin, there are buyers who feel the name is worth it and we all know that an alloy Kirkham Cobra or alloy Shelby Cobra are constructed by the best.  |

This old yarn? 
My wife's Cartier engagement ring costs more.
Because it's worth more. Because it costs more. Because it's worth more., etc.
If you're a 'diamond district' guy, then you'll never get it.

I'm a "diamond district guy," but then if I had all your money, then I'd burn all mine. |
