No engine. No gearbox, and you pay six figures for it.
A car built with a Kirkham body?
Of course Kirkham has no way of tracking the bodies that come out of their shop. And no way do they keep track that it IS a Kirkham product. Yeah, right, they just concede their quality work to Shelby.
Personal opinion.
Does Shelby build an aluminum body? Nope, someone else does. Just like the sixties. They assemble quality parts, very fancy shop, pissed off some folks in their early days of their resurrection, put the Shelby name plate on it and kick the price up 60% (conservative)?
Once again this seems to boil down to either the quality of the ride, both top notch,... or the name on it returning or holding some futuristic form of investment value.
Consider the price difference.
Consider your preference.
To some the name plate matters, to others not.
You can buy the same level of quality and performance and still not have to pay six figures?
Bragging rights.
Its been said so many times.
If you got the dough and the name plate is that important to you, buck up for a Shelby with a Kirkham body, just like the old days with a Ford engine and and English car, more power to you.
What is your preference?
With the way Shelby is belching out cars, (they are in biz to make money), do you really think your CSX name plate is going to retain the value (money) you paid into it?
Good luck players.
