If they said here's a Kirkham that you can have for $100k or if you prefer we'd be happy to sell you a rebadged version for $1/2mill then that's different.
Hang on... Perhaps it's best a fool and their money are easily parted...
I think I just refuted my own argument.
Carry on...

We've been down this road many times. Very few manufacturers manufacture every component of there product. Re-badging is common. The original series Cobras were re-badged ACs. Chevy and Pontiac re-badged many products. Chyrsler and Plymoth. Chevy, GMC, Cadillac. Honda, Acura. Toyota, Lexus. Nissan, Infiniti. Ford, Mercury. Many other products are rebadged too.
As long as the buyer got a genuine Anniversary Shelby 427 and wante to pay the $500K for some reason that was worth it to the buyer, i.e.first or last anniversary or some other factor not known its what the market will support.
