Just a thought and no opinion on the impending lawsuit. But I wonder if Shelby and his bunch have ever considered what would happen to them if they could shut down all of the other replica makers. For one thing, most or many people would prefer a Shelby or Kirkham Car, but just don't have that kind of money. He isn't going to gain anything if he is the only Replica maker left in business as it will only mean that many people that love the cars will have to go without one. In fact his sales would most likely drop as he would immediately up the price even more for the improved profit. If I could afford anything I want, I would much prefer one of the Originals as the new ones are over priced I feel and in California it would be hard to get one of the few SB-500 numbers to register one anyway. So to sum what I am trying to say up, if Shelby shuts down all replica makers except himself and the Kirkhams, I feel his business will soon follow many others. Also these are not the kind of cars that you trade in and get a new one ever year or so.
