Maurice makes an interesting point about the BNL series car (Bare Naked Lady). Maybe it's LESS work than having paint! I kind of assumed it was more after seeing that Kirkham in bad need of some serious polishing.

Gunner does raise a worthy point about some of the CSX cars, something I to have pondered. OK, it really is a "Shelby", parts gathered up to HIS specifications and he has some control over who does the build. If a builder isn't doing a good job, he's liable to get his license pulled or his butt kicked or both. But there are cases where the "parts" and "pieces" have been assembled by an individual owner or that owners chosen builder is outside the loop of approved Shelby builders. At one point does the car start to loose it's pedigree?

We DO see Shelby ad's noting it's a "Las Vegas" car, I think that carries some weight. Who the supplier was, who built it, under what circumstances, etc. doesn't seem to carry "that much" weight though, I'm surprised by that. Testimony to the power of the BRAND NAME over and beyond any other factors.
