What are the prices for the glass and aluminum cars. I am just asking the questions that the inspectors will be asking to get these cars FIA certified to race in events that require tremendous scrutiny by the governing bodies, ISO realize that only the alloy bodied versions can get to first base with these organizations.

I can't speak for the Shelby versions as to FIA certification or if they will even ask for it. I know many of the run are already sold so that may be a moot point. I have no idea if the buyers are collectors or racers but I suspect they are in the first group.

On the Superformance side we have the cars accepted by SVRA and are working on HSR. We do not expect FIA HTP certification and have no intention of asking for same. SVRA has accepted all of the 289 versions, FIA, USRRC, Independent comp, Sebring replica (and "replica" was the term Shelby used to market the comp cars in the 60's) so long as they meet the engine regulations and have the solid rotor/Girling caliper kit installed.

And one never knows with sanctioning organizations, there certainly have NEVER been any Kirkham Cobras or Superformance GT40s at Goodwood! (please note tongue firmly in cheek)

There will be a formal announcement at Barrett-Jackson and specifications and pricing will be released then.

I think that what Mark IV was saying, tongue in cheek, was that Kirkham cobras and Superformance GT40's have competed at Goodwood, despite being replicas. So one never knows what might happen in the future.

yes, csx 7963 was invited to goodwood in 2016, not as a undercover replica of any csx2xxx but as csx 7963, of course with a kirkham aluminum body

But of course NO Superformance GT40s have ever darkened the Goodwood door!

"Replicas!" "We doan need no steenkin' replicas!!!"
