How do you answer, "Is it real?"

i believe in facts and not in opinions
but hey, you can repeat your opinion as often you like, it has no relevance and i don’t care

As has been shown here many times, you're arguing with a brick wall. Fortunately, the Continuation Cobras continue to sell all they can make, and used versions regularly sell for more than they cost. (In fact, of the owners I made contact with while I had mine, all sold for a tidy profit, as did I. And Evan.) That may be what upsets them the most.

Sure, they made a "profit." We always make a "profit" when selling our cars.

Of course, there's the time value of money, gas, insurance, registration, repairs, upgrades, etc. to consider too.

Oh, let's not forget the fact that in the last decade the S&P 500 has roughly tripled in value.

If I sell my Kirkham now, then I'll make a profit too. Profits aren't limited to only one brand of Cobra replica. I haven't checked lately, but Kirkham's and ERA's production has about 1-2 year wait list. In fact, the Kirkham's moved to a larger facility.

BTW, Evan claimed he sold his car for a lot of money, but someone here on CC has posted that was a lie. More internet stories of fabulous wealth tp be gained by owning a Shelby replica.

Just revisiting this site and thread.

Insults? Really? I’m a drunk, troll, stupid, etc. I’ll tell you what I don’t do. I don’t insult people. But, look, we’re both living in the SF Bay Area. Wear a face mask, keep 6’ of social distance and we’ll meet and I’ll tell you to your face you’re driving a Shelby replica.

You’re entitled to your opinion. And I’m entitled to mine. There’s absolutely nothing you, Tony or Peter can say to change my mind. Especially if you own a fiberglass/other than alloy Shelby replica

My Kirkham IS in the 2008 SAAC Shelby Registry. I missed you too, but it’s just been busy around here. No time for cars.
