Evan, you see, here's where you get off track. You elevate yourself above others, insult others and their intelligence, and that's just not nice. Please try to stick with the subject matter.

Whether we use Rolex watches, Indian motorcycles, Kirkham Cobras, etc. to compare with the Shelby Cobra, the answer is still the same. The Shelby Cobras built after 1967-1968 are all just replicas of the originals. The dashboard materials are different, the aluminum is different, wiring, brakes, suspension, differentials, glass, hardware, all different, etc. They just happen to be built by a successor company with the same or similar name. Shelby. Shelby had a marketing meeting and decided to use the term "Continuation" instead of "true replicas."

I think the really important question here, which you brought to the forefront is whether I would buy a 2nd Kirkham, if Kirkham ceased production for 30 years, and then began building replicas of replicas.
