The Shelby Series One was sold as a completed car and then it lost its Federal certification and had to be built as a kit/component car. Not really sure if any of them were legal in CA. I'm not really a Series One expert. Shelby was a "licensed auto manufacturer", but not any more.

Backdraft, Kirkham, and Superformance all sell complete rollers, everything is finished for you, but no engine and tranny. ERA will sell you a kit for you to complete OR they will build it for you to a complete roller status, sans engine and tranny. No separate company needed to get it to roller status. None of them will sell you a complete operable car due to Federal regulations.

They're all manufacturers of Cobra replicas, but they're not "licensed auto manufacturers." They can't be. Although there's a new Federal law, that might change this, I won't mention it here.
