As was said, true Cobra afficianado's will snicker at any 427 S/C after CSX 3053. There have been various aluminum Shelby Clones, continuations, etc. Some better, some worse, some 3000 series, 4000 series, 7000 series, 8000 series and now the 1000 series made by AC CARS for what its worth. CSX 3059 was probably made by Mike McClusky who makes a great car and it will be at the top of the dollar scale but now throw in the mix that one can buy a Shelby, AC Cobra with a 1000 number could be a compelling confusion as to what to buy and how much to pay. I think the continuation market gets the highest dollars for the ones with the most amount of original detail, patina, parts, etc to make it at least appear as an original and not a shiny new Kit Car in a wacky color. Forget which series number it is and buy the best car.
