That's a fair question perhaps for another thread, but I say whether they are termed replicas or not they'll have the place in history as a later generation of the car and therefore the "Value" would be in direct proportion to thier history.

CSX4 series rebirth is the history of a man/company who rested on their laurels while Kirkham of the same vintage went passed them.

I agree your insertion that at least with the 4000series they stayed true to the purist, and therefore the product more desirable to them. However with this being a small and shrinking market, the new mob running Shelby seemingly NOT dumb, have got to move to increase market share... Or???
What else could they do?
