Get Your Orders in Right Away

[98SVT - was 06GT]

Not impressed.  Reminds me of the person with a cobra kit car that attends all the local shows.  Has a large professionally printed placard on an art easel detailing every attribute about the vehicle.  No one ever breaks stride to stop and look. 

+1 - where will this be a force on the track? I guess you could enter it in the prototype class at LeMans. With only 10 slated for build it won't be a production car anywhere. No vintage group will let it run. Garage queen or track day toy only. Somebody with 1.2 in it will want to drive it to cars & coffee - and promptly crash it on exiting.

Will they age the same as an aluminum body or become a pile of carbon dust on the floor in 50 plus years?

Is there a way to repair carbon fiber damage?

Think the damage has been done at already at 1.2

I think that you need to replace the entire shell as a unit?

Do you remember the controversy of the SA KR hoods? IF you needed one, they were being controlled by SA so that folks couldn't convert their 2007 GT500's to a KR look.

The price of a "replacement" hood for a documented KR was something like $36,000?


For a car that markets at $1.2million, what would be the cost of a replacement shell? I'd guess...a lot.


IF one was looking for the best deal out there in a "reasonably representative replica" the ERA's are hovering around $50,000, 427 and all. They don't offer exclusivity though.

I personally think that even the Kirkhams leave something to be desired and maybe it is the lack of a Shelby American VIN tag that is truly what is wanted?
