Tirod makes some interesting points. The biggest difference between most kits and the original 60's series Shelby cars is the price tag. By and large, today's cars perform better off of the factory floor than the muscle cars of 50 years ago did with all the tweeking we could give them. So where is the advantage or desirability other than in the collectability and the price tag? Perhaps owning a piece of history is the hook?
