Dreamer: People don't pay more for a name unless it has added value. In this case it clearly does. You may not want to pay for it but many do.

People pay for a Lexus over a Toyota or an Infiniti over a Nissan all day long.

An equivlent Shelby is also worth more than an equivilent Kirkham. You pay more in the beginning but the resale value is higher in the end too.

BTW I see you paid for a Shelby aluminum block. Aren't other aluminum blocks or other new blocks available for less?
