Thats my point.
Evan,

At the same time, your car never saw the original California Shelby factory floor as it was produced just a "few" years later than an original. My advice is to sell your Shelby and buy a Kirkham. It will still be listed in the Shelby registry (ah the prestige of it all), and you'll have enough spare change left over for that FFR Spec Racer you always wanted.
