The master of marketing strikes again. Unfortunately, I choose to view the registry as self serving. I give it no more credence than the Book of Mormon.

For those of you that own continuation kit cars, good for you. To me they are the same as any of the other clones of the original 60's cars.

If you really want to own a real/original Shelby cobra, cough up the $$$$$ and buy one. Till then, all you own is a reproduction.
Actually, I think the registry wasn't created by Shelby but rather Bill Kemper and John Rimer.
And now, back to the show!
