When comparing the fiberglass cars, the Shelby is a lot more like an original in terms of the frame and other bits. While the ERA is mostly concerned with the exterior of the car looking correct. Although you really need to go to an aluminum body Kirkham or Shelby to really approach originally, there is definitely something to be said for the fiberglass Shelby being more like an original than an ERA. So I don't consider the Shelby name and SAAC registry to be the only reason to buy a glass Shelby over an ERA.

1ntCobra,
Not to stir the pot further, but I think you missed what Aspenbubba said. He said that KMP and ERA were the best in terms of quality for aluminum and glass cars, respectively, not that they were the most correct in terms of originality.
