I second this post. If it were me and I had a ton of money, it would be McClsuky hands down. On the average joe-budget however, the Contemporary / Lesher is the most accurate IMHO. I just wish Lesher's car had the low-profile windshield ala CSX 2300.

The SPF car is awesome, but is too much of a "modern interpretation" for my taste. Personally, the FFR and Shell Valley wouldn't make my list.

Wasn't there talk of a Kirkham coupe? I remember seeing a picture on here awhile back - was that just a one-off? I'm sure a Kirkham would easily be at the top of my list, although would probably still be more expensive than the Lesher.
