I can understand why some folks choose the Shelby brand over others, because each of us has a value equation in our minds. Even though I'm a lifelong genuine Shelby Cobra and Mustang fan, I saw no value in purchasing the Shelby brand, OTOH, Evan sees value.

But, in terms of the alloy replicas, Shelby and Kirkham, since Kirkham provides the entire 50th Anniversary Edition, there's an easy comparison, what would be your guess when those two cars are re-sold in the secondary market? Do you think that approximately $65,000 Shelby premium will increase, remain the same or decrease when the original owners sell their cars?

If I were a betting person, I'd put my money on the Shelby premium declining from $65,000. If so, then there's a "penalty" to buying a Shelby replica. All specs being equal, besides the CSX plaque of course.
