Hhmmm... I don't know if I can comment my own question. After a very Cobra-oriented week with dozens of hours on the computer and on the phone I got a little bit of knowledge...but just a very little bit!
I made my mind up that I cannot buy a fiberglass replica. And I also know now, that the Kirkham is the better car. (less weight, better fabrication, better / more modern technology, suspension and eventually better customer support) BUT: in Switzerland a Shelby is a Shelby and that is easier to put on the road. It is just a silly VIN-Tag somewhere on the dashboard and a piece of paper!
And it is oldstyle 427, 4-speed toploader and so on, but it is a Shelby. That is the reason why I am probably buying an aluminum Shelby. And I have to say that my Budget is not existent anymore. I'm talking way too much money but it is just great to even think of owning such a Car.
There are two nice brushed bodys out there, both in CA - man that's gonna be another late night!!
