Other than resale value, that's the point of paying the premium... You can honestly say it's a real Shelby Cobra. I liar is one that calls their replica a "Cobra" unless of course it's a real Shelby.

I also highly doubt owners of 2000 & 3000 series cars care much about what replicas are called.

This thread isn't completely useless, it can always serve as a bad example.

Well, actually I do own an original Shelby, so that blows your theory out of the water. Ask why CSX Continuation cars Re shut out of pebble beach or other such prestigious events. Or why Continuation series cars Re parked seperatly from CSX2000/3000 cars at other events. It is most certainly not done out of envy.

Truth s told I find more continuation series cars with a chip on their shoulders because there cars are not treated as equals to the CSX2000/3000 series cars. Perhaps because they bought in to the hype that SAI dished out while they were selling them. Expecting them to become the next overnight quality investment and double in value.
