Yes in this sense of the word even a sixties street vesion, is "A Replica."

I was drawn to these cars because of his winning. Not some street version mimic. That's the history and facts I like. I could give a whole lot less attention of how and when the CSX4000 or the CSX7000 were made and how many, blah blah blah blah........... I'd like to feel connected I bought what I could afford. Don't we all love Shelby's history?

I Like Racing!

I'm Out!

Ralphy: No issue with your "last word". You are entitled to your own personal position.

Yes I'm sure all of here love Shelby History. Old and new.

Mdross: Have no issue with non "Cobra" owners using "hot rod with a Cobra shaped body" to describe their cars either. "Replica" seems better to me though but whatever floats your boat.
