They also allow SPF GT40 replicas/clones too. They're all replicas/clones, Shelby, Superformance and of course Kirkham. Why? No one wants to blow up their multi-million dollar cars racing anymore, so they let replicas race. The Shelby FIA is a $150,000 car, so the driver/owner won't feel as bad if he or she crashes it. |

many owners of original cars have an exact clone of their car, they are racing the clone with the same csx 2xxx number as their original have, that is another pair of shoes, for that you're right in this case this cobra was invited to goodwood as a csx 7xxx, and not as a csx 2xxx substitute this "$ 150,000" car was for sale asking factor 2,5 in summer |

As for asking prices, well, you can ask whatever you want for your car. What you get is almost always quite different. Bottom line, alloy Shelby/Kirkham rollers are around $115,000. And small block engines and Toploaders are fairly reasonable, depending on how fast you want to go. BTW, I'm asking $250,000 for my Kirkham. :JEKYLHYDE**):rolleyes::LOL: |
sure, you can ask whatever you want, (i was waiting for this comment ;))
but some points are making this car special; - one of about 20 csx 7000 aluminium - FIA-HTP papers (very hard to achieve for replicas) - Goodwood-Invitation (that makes every car more worth in europe) and btw, i think continuation car ist the better term for this kind of cars, like the cars mentioned in this thread: jaguar xkss, aston db4gt, ac cobra 260 legacy or the lister knobbly... |

Is it worth more than your standard CSX7000, sure, but $200,000+ more? Nope. I assume the next Tom, Dick or Harry can get "papers" for their CSX7000. |

But whether it's Goodwood or the Monterey Historics, it's just a committee of humans running it. And these humans have opinions, make decisions, put on their pants one leg at a time and brain-fart just like the rest of us humans. They're just people with cars with papers, they're not curing cancer, advancing research on Alzheimer's disease or even scoring a goal at Old Trafford. I guess what I'm saying is that they can invite a replica of Herby The Love Bug to race Goodwood and it really doesn't affect my way of thinking. |
rodknock, you can think what ever you want but obviously this is not the right thread for you ;)

ok, thanks for explaining your opinion

And the 1966 Mustangs and Shelbys are being built new, under license (by Ford and Shelby).
Brand-New Reproduction Classic Mustang |

continuations should be made by the original manufacturer to original specifications |
Quote:
They're all "copies" with significant changes since 1965 +/-. |

"Continuation" is just another word for copy, clone, reproduction, etc. it's all the same S. The buyers of any "continuation" are just paying premium for name, paperwork, plaque, marketing costs, etc. Whoever actually builds the continuation is meaningless. It's not 1965-1966. |
continuation car is a term of general linguistic usage, you can call it semantics or anything else, but lets talk about semantics...
in my opinion the continuation cobras should be called "shelby kirkham cobra" as the originals were called "shelby ac cobra" |
