As it concerns Kirkhams it seems pretty clear they are in the registry to preclude the possibility that one day they might morph into a Shelby.

Actually, thats already happened, with the blessing of all involved so it's cool. What started life as a genuine Kirkham along the way became a genuine Shelby, complete with a CSX number. Some Shelbys have been owner built as well, by purchasing the various parts and pieces and doing the assembly, like a "kit" but through the back door. So even with the modern cars we already have some "stories" if not "storied" cars. It is easy to see that happening in the years to come, a Kirkham would be an excellent place to start.
