If people have the money to pay considerably more for the "prominence" of owning a Shelby versus a Kirkham, then why should anyone care? At this price level it really doesn't matter to those with that kind of money to throw around (at least to most of them; some are more sensible). Again, the Speed Channel coveage of the BJ auctions always talk about prominence when it comes to owning a Shelby vs. any other replica. And I think they have made that point well known and in some enthusiast's eyes it still holds water.
