Shelby
Since 1967, when I made my first Revell model of one (painted it Pantera yellow with a brush) I had lusted after a Shelby Cobra. Not a Superformance, Factory Five or Kirkham. As the money I saved grew, so did the price of a CSX 3000. I am now the happy owner of an authentic Shelby, but not an original Shelby. I couldn't afford an original (or more correctly, couldn't justify owning an orignal). The car I own is a pretty as can be aluminum bodied (by Kimmins) Shelby Cobra. That's good enough for me. It was a long journey to get here, from 1967 to 2002, but it wouldn't have been completed if I bought something else. Furthermore, if a signed authentic car, I suspect at some time in the future, it will appreciate quickly, if only for a brief time, ala' Ferrari F40's after August 14, 1988.
