Okay, let me clarify a few things:
1) I didn't ask about the value of Carroll Shelby's signature, name plate or CSX # I understand it does add value to the car. You pay more and also sell it for more. I am taking that into consideration. But I didn't ask about it.
2) The car will be used for shows, weekend cruising, going to work on a nice day and a race track here and there. Not drag racing, but oval track or road race, but not often.
3) It will have an aluminum 427
4) I want it blue with double white stripes, because it's the way I always dreamed of it.
5) I posted the same post in two forums because I figured I would get Shelby loyalists at the Shelby forum and Kirkham loyalists at the Kirkham forum and I wasn't sure both groups would read both forums.
6) I am comparing them as machines, mechanically, fit and finish, performance (with identical engine and with the best each manufactorer has to offer in suspension, brakes, but with the 15 inch wheels, because once again, that's the look I want, like the original, part of that dream)
By the way do either of these have the option of coming with a rag top and side windows?
Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
Ps. I do plan on visiting both manufacturers before making the final decision.
I met Carroll Shelby at a show. . .
Whoa, wait a minute, we're going way off track here. . .
