If that were the case, why wouldn't you want all the parts to have benefitted from 50 years of learning in casting, forging, metallurgy, switch craft, manufacturing processes?
IOW, why would you want all that old unreliable crap!

Because it's beautiful. You either like it or you don't. I'm not passing judgement on what a guy likes--that's up to him. When we finished that baby we just kind of stood back and smiled. It's a literal piece of Shelby history. Seeing and driving the car as it was is a fascinating experience. Indeed our cars today are much faster and lighter--but they aren't what was made back in the day. It's just cool to see, feel, smell the dream.
