When I mentioned a "couple dozen" I was thinking of the full race 427 equipped AC Cobras. Shelby made more street versions of 427,428,, and 289 Cobras. Still, originals are too valuable to drive on long road trips, they all start at $250K and the race versions go for a few mil when they go up for auction.
The AC Cobras are the most popular of high end replicas today. Shelby had a couple dozen chassis left over and he sold those a few years ago. They aren't saying how much each chassis sold for but it was speculated to be around $500k for a rolling chassis. The challenge was finding an original aluminum body.............
The 427/428 are the best looking because the chassis was wider than the 289 chassis. There was also three different body tweaks to the fenders and front end.
