I almost bought one of the polished Kirkhams two years ago but to tell you the truth I couldn't keep score on who does what work.

1- Is there a general consensus of what Cobras are better? Better could be several things, value, construction, etc. I'm not sure but wasn't Kirkham providing bodies to Shelby American.

2-I was looking at the Kirkham site and noticed their polished Daytona, really sharp, are they still providing components to Shelby American.

3- As far as the CSX series 4000 & up are any holding value. I couldn't ever get a glass car. I saw one of the alum billet cars and that was about the best one visually I liked. I do like the FIA series look though.

4- These GT 40 continuations from Shelby just released there is no information about what the body is made from. The Mark IV continuations how have these been doing in prices the last few years.


5. Not looking at these as any kind of investment just a good built car.

I use to follow the auctions but haven't in the last two years.

Thanks

The GT40 is based on the Superformance car and the "body" i.e. the nose, deck and doors are fiberglass as per the originals. The roof and tub are steel as original as well. The GT MK IVs are selling for over their cost when first sold but that is a small pool and they trade amongst a close knit community (and Fran has two....)
