Turk - it just flat out burns my biscuits that reputable, quality companies like ERA who have been building terrific Cobra replicas for years longer than Shelby did his originals are under assault by a guy who couldn't put them out of business in the courts, so he's decided to leverage his name to price them out of business - with a company he has absolutely no stake in other than his well worn signature.
This is a millionaire many times over who's engaged in a holy war against an industry that he once had zero interest in.
If he wants to market Kirkham cars with his name on them, hey, great. They're the best in the world.
But I can not accept that this current foray into the open marketplace is anything other than a vendetta.
As far as what it's doing to the value of my SPF is irrelevant. I like my car, I didn't buy it as an investment and as I said earlier, am no cheerleader for the company.
I simply regard CS as a ruthless opportunist spending his waning years engaged in endeavors unbecoming someone who should be resting on his laurels. As I said - how much is enough?
