And say that we throw in a few major accidents and the main frame rail has been replaced and say while you are there you replace the other rail to with a thicker higher quality tubing and a lot of the suspension is replaced with higher quality pieces( Carroll Shelby said " Ac used a lot of pot metal". So is this car still a real genuine Shelby Cobra???
As I see it, we don't really know what it is. The problem is it's titled as "CSX3016" and as DMXF points out, the original 3016 is known and it's not this car.
That's how I see it now.
