But, to get back to the original question - I still don't think I've heard anyone say they are putting a down payment down on one of these.

no, sir, I would not pay $180K for a Kirkham with Shelby badges. but what I would do is buy a used Kirkham and put on fake "50th anniversary Shelby badges & fake CSX vin plate" and tell everybody, "yea, it's a real Shelby continuation 50th anniversary limited model." Hmm, maybe I will do that. wait 10 more years, wait for these new fake Cobras to get old so it would look more real? this crazy cobra hobby is based on perfecting forgery and Shelby Inc. is a customer of Kirkham.

hmm, while I am being honest, I am buying property in china, in a fake manhattan

Just make sure you put an FE in there.

Well, Dan, one has to ask themselves the question, "Am I a Cartier or diamond district type person?"

Depends if you want FL, VVS1, VVS2 and so on. You may know the difference but trust me, the wife won't.!

I don't know what any of that means, since I'm a "diamond district" person as mentioned earlier. But since Rodneym is a Cartier-type person, he would definitely know.
