They'll be seen as just rebadged Kirkhams with CSX VIN's as someone else here said.

Well we will have to see. In the future the rich collectors of today will be dead and gone and their interests along with it.
New Cobras sat on lots for years in the 60s. Dealers couldn't give them away. When the kids of that era started acquiring money things changed as they could by the cars of their dreams in their youth.
The future generation rich likely will be looking for GTR's, WRX turbos, M1's etc...When interest dies out so does the market. No car is immune from that.
Will originals always be worth more than continuation Shelbys? Likely so. Will continuation Shelby likely be worth more than non Shelby look a like cobras? Likely so. If interest in Shelby and Cobras dies out all values will drop. Big dollars are only exchanged by collector on items that are widely desired and sought after. Original Cobras certainly aren't sought after for their technology and fabrication. I've seen better tubing on lawn chairs. No they are sought after because they are highly desired and few in number. If desire and interest drops so does their value. Nothing special or magic about it.
Buzz: That's fine. Mine is way whiter than yours.
