Looking For An Alloy CSX4000? Here Ya Go

It's not that cut and dried. You can spec a variety of suspension components on the Kirkham. From billet (most popular) to original (BIG dollars). Shelby specs vary from that, but it's a tough call to say which is "better". It all depends on what you want and are willing to pay. Is Shelby workmanship better than Kirkham? I wouldn't bet on that, both are of excellent quality. Many prefer a non painted alloy body so that could be a plus not a negative.

One thing's for sure, you won't get the Shelby name with a Kirkham and no matter what, that fact alone DOES add value to the car.

I really like the spec's on Sal's CSX car. It's very true to the original spirit and soul of a Cobra. For some of us that is a huge factor. In general, it seems to me, your more likely to find a Shelby closer to original specs than a Kirkham.

Sal's car is for sale but this is not a "plug", it's just recognizing reality. Let's assume Sal's car was a Kirkham and the same price as another Kirkham for sale, with billet this and that and more modern whatever. Hands down I would choose Sal's car, (not to mention the coveted CSX number).
