Thats funny.
I went to the shelby factory in Vegas and did the tour. The guy that was running the tour was very clear about their feeling on replica kits. They still make the continuation models so are quite protective. Its funny that they are selling a poster that goes against what they think.
They also said on the tour that Carrol Shelby still does autographs on parts that are sent to him with a donation to his charity. Considering his age i think that this and his other business ventures are a fantastic effort.

I had no say in this and was not even asked for permission, I was pretty pissed off, not for the money but the principle.
The interesting thing is that the poster has the Heading "Shelby Cobra" and is endorsed by Shelby America, not bad for a replica.
The poster is also available for sale on The Carroll Shelby official site.

Maybe I should have a go at the most Authentic, Shelby thinks it is.
