Been reading this thread and it is interesting all the different opinions.

I have owned a Kirkham and also own a CSX car. In my opinion a aluminum CSX car is not a replica of a cobra. The way I look at it it was built at Shelby's Factory, has his vin number so it is a Shelby Cobra no doubt.

Rolex has been making the Submariner for may years and I can still buy a new one from them at a high price. Yes, many others make replicas of the Submariner but I want a genuine watch from Rolex with paperwork backing it up. I feel the same about my Cobra. Again, in my opinion, the cars with original Carroll Shelby paperwork that were built while he was still living at his factory by his employees are the most collectable and in my opinion are Real Shelby Cobras.

A Kirkham cobra is a "Kirkham Cobra"
A Shelby Cobra is A "Shelby Cobra"
A FFR Cobra is a "FFR Cobra"
